Ive been feeling really suffocated for the past three days, and it's making it really tough to get any work done. My chest feels tight and heavy, and I've also got this nagging upset stomach. Its like Im completely unhappy and cant shake off these negative thoughts. Im wondering, is this a breathing problem or anxiety or something else entirely? I had a chest x-ray done about three months ago, and it didnt show anything, but the problems still here. The doctor mentioned something about allergic rhinitis, and Ive been taking Alerfix Total daily for three months and Oxitin CR Forte, but I missed my Oxitin dose the last two days. Could this be something serious? And how can I get rid of this permanently?

View allI recently had a chest X-ray and it came back saying that there are prominent bilateral hilar shadows. I'm a bit worried and would really like to understand what this means. Could you explain it to me?
Bilateral Hilar Shadows being prominent on your chest X-ray typically indicates enlargement or prominence of the lymph nodes in the hilar region of the lungs, which can be caused by various conditions such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, lymphoma, or other inflammatory or infectious diseases, and further testing or evaluation by a specialist is usually required to determine the underlying cause.

I've been dealing with a cough for about a year now, and there's also been daily congestion. The mucus is relentless, and it seems to worsen with exposure to dust, and after eating things like curds or oily foods. I'm getting concerned about what's causing this and how to manage it. Could you give me some advice or potential solutions?
avoid these things And take tab mucinac and tab tusq

I'm a bit concerned and would like some advice. I had COVID back in May and recovered at home with a mild case of lung pneumonia. I was on blood thinners at the time but stopped after my D-Dimer results returned to normal. Since recovering, I haven't had a cough or cold, but I sometimes notice black streaks in my phlegm, usually just once in the morning. I already spoke with a pulmonologist who told me to get a CBC and chest X-ray; everything came back normal. He said a CT isn't needed unless I start coughing, which I haven't. Is it common to have these black streaks in phlegm after COVID? At what point should I be concerned, and do you think I need any further tests? Here's a picture for reference. What do you think?
The presence of black streaks in phlegm, especially in the morning, can be a common post-COVID-19 symptom, possibly due to lingering inflammation, mucus, or fungal growth, and since your CBC, chest X-ray, and previous D-Dimer tests are normal, your pulmonologist's advice to monitor and not pursue further testing unless symptoms worsen or new ones develop is reasonable; however, if you experience increased frequency, thickness, or color change of the phlegm, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or fever, seek immediate medical attention to rule out potential complications like pulmonary embolism, bronchiectasis, or opportunistic infections.
