I’ll try to get the referral, but I don’t have a cough. Just intermittent phlegm, drainage, nasal congestion. I work out almost daily and am never short of breath, do cardio, stairstepper, elliptical, treadmill, etc. and get regular checkups…..but, I’ll explain why I’m asking.

@celia16 The CT scan could be a diagnostic tool to simply rule out a lung related issue when symptoms have included excessive mucus, nasal congestion, drainage issues, possibly hoarse voice, sinus issues and a cough. Sounds like you are feeling well though ( you’re not fatigued, not dealing with infections ) except for the more upper respiratory symptoms you mention. Post nasal drip can be frustrating. Perhaps you already use a nasal spray prescribed by your doctor. They can help alleviate symptoms.

I have no medical training, so the advice is simply not to let symptoms linger too long without a diagnosis. A CT scan might be an option, especially if you have more infections and a lingering cough.
All the best.
