Question 1

I'm a bit concerned because about two weeks ago, I had a cough and cold, but recently, for the last 10 days or so, I've noticed a small amount of blood in my sputum in the mornings when I cough up. It's not a lot, and only happens on and off, but the blood is bright red and looks fresh. The doctor gave me some antibiotics, but the blood is still there sometimes, even though the cough itself has gone away. I sometimes just feel like I need to clear my throat. I have my X-ray report ready too, just wondering if this is something to worry about?

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about these sharp shooting pains and heaviness in my chest. I also get really out of breath and start coughing even with just a bit of dust or smoke around. And if I try to talk while walking, I end up breathing heavily. Do you think you could help me figure out why I'm having these breathing issues?
