I am being calm with my body these days, and learning more and more patience! So I have been having consistent chest pain since March 2026, off and on it comes and goes.

I just had the complete lung function test done in pulmonology. It definitely wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I will be using an acapella device to exercise my lungs and help clear them for now on, but I was told the broncheastsis isn't as severe as once thought.

I am glad you had your tests to find out what it is. I think I need some he CT scan on my lungs. I keep having mucus form until I have to cough it out.

Prayers for everyone and your needs and lots of happy days.

Yes, definitely needs to be checked out.
