Primary care: Should see your primary care physician who can evaluate you and decide if you need to see a specialist such as a pulmonologist. Symptoms might be from pleurisy or chest congestion that your doctor could treat.

When I take a deep breath, I hear a gurgling sound in my chest. No pain or other symptoms, just the gurgling. What can be causing this? Does this sound worrisome, like pleural effusion/lung cancer?
