I've been dealing with a pretty bad indigestion issue. So, on June 1st, 2020, I just up and quit smoking. I was smoking about 45 cigarettes a day for the past 10 years, but I started cutting down in 2018 and finally stopped after two years. The first few months, I had headaches and an upset stomach, but recently I've had a bit of trouble breathing. When I do things like running or cardio workouts, I feel okay, but if I miss a day, I notice some shortness of breath and my throat feels tight. This has been going on for a month, and I've been feeling kinda weak, too. Is this normal, or could it be something else? I don't have any other symptoms.

View allI've been having trouble breathing for the last few months, and the mucus is really thick and white. After I eat, it gets a bit worse, almost like my chest feels heavy. I've already done a chest X-ray and a complete blood test, and everything came out normal. With the whole COVID situation, I can't really go to a hospital right now. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

I'm really concerned about the results of my chest X-ray. It mentioned mild peri hilar increased bronchovascular markings on both lungs. Should I be worried about this? How serious could it be?
if you are a smoker , then there might be these findings. if you are facing any breathing issues then consult a pulmonologist

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
