I'm really worried because ever since I had a viral infection, I've been dealing with this persistent cough and wheezing that just won't go away. It even flares up when I'm talking sometimes. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it being something more serious?

I'm really curious and a bit worried because I've been having digestion issues and noticed blood in my stool. My CT scan of the whole abdomen came back normal except it showed something called subsegmental atelectasis in the posterobasal segment of my left lower lobe. I've also been experiencing shortness of breath. I consulted a pulmonologist, did an x-ray, spirometry, and Spo2, and all those tests were normal. He mentioned it might just be anxiety, and I have had anxiety for about 45 years now. I'm wondering if anxiety could really be causing these symptoms, or if there's something else I should look into?

do not worry, you are just having anxiety. relax and reduce your stress
