I'm really worried about something I just found out. Last year, I was in a car accident, and nobody told me anything about my chest x-ray results. I looked at the report today, and it mentions things like biapical pleural thickening, perihilar interstitial prominence, and mild hyperaeration. I have no idea what any of this means. I was fine until recently, but now I've started coughing up phlegm, and I get short of breath when I walk up stairs, although it goes away quickly. Other than that, I feel healthy. Can you help ease my mind and tell me what I should do next?

View allI've been spitting up white mucus throughout the day, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm a smoker, and I used to smoke 5 cigarettes a day, but I've cut it down to 2 now. Lately, I've noticed this white mucus, especially in the morning, and one morning it even looked black. Could this be related to my smoking, or is it something else I should be worried about?
