Heaviness in chest
Male 26. Hello, for the last week i am feeling a lot of heaviness in my chest.
I smoke but very less, on average 2 cigarettes per day.
Apart from this heaviness, i also feel sharp pain sometimes in my right lung. It comes and goes very quickly. There is also a lot of dry cough.
I am also having a lot of irritation in my throat, and the phlegm when i cough out Is a bit red shaded, but there is no blood.
Kindly tell me what is wrong.

Hi
If the phlegm is red shaded, take an Xray chest urgently and do your phlegm test to rule out tb.
