I've had this persistent cough for a few weeks now and my GP sent me for a chest x-ray. It's been over two weeks since the x-ray on Tuesday, but I haven't heard any results yet. I'm really anxious and wondering if this delay is normal. Should I be worried about this?

I'm noticing some blood when I cough in the morning while brushing my teeth and washing my mouth. I also experience a dry cough during that time. Is this something to worry about? What could be causing it?

I recently went for a chest X-ray and PFT test because I've been having some mild breathing issues. The ECG and echo came back normal, which is a relief. However, I did have COVID about 45 weeks ago, but it was pretty mild, just a 3-day fever and cold symptoms. I took all the necessary meds as prescribed after consulting a doctor. Should I still be concerned about these breathing issues, or is it likely just leftover effects from COVID even after so long?

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly. I don't have a cold, cough, or any fever, but I find myself having to take deep breaths and sometimes even need to open my mouth to get a good breath in. What could be going on here? Any ideas or suggestions?
