Does a productive chest cough usually rumble in the chest, as opposed to a sinus cough which wouldn't? If it isn't rumbling in the chest, is it probably not productive mets? Here's what happened: I had a cough that was somewhat productive (unusual for me) and a rumble in my chest. Then the cough stopped rolling, started to seem more like a sinus cough and the rumble in the chest went away for about a week. Now, I have a productive cough again today with no persistent rumble in the chest. Does any of this sound like lung mets? I only have one coughing bout per day, am not losing weight, and do not have a bloody cough. What percent chance is this early lung mets? Do people with lung mets usually have more than one coughing bout per day?

Hello and thank you for your time. A year ago, I received an abdominal CT scan with contrast, and last week, post-birth, I received a head CT and the next day a chest CT with contrast. I came across an article by the American Cancer Society highlighting the connection between CT scans and developing cancer. Does this imply that I'll develop cancer due to these exposures or that I now have an increased risk of developing cancer? Is there any research out there supporting how to reverse the effects of this exposure?
