Possibly: This is a problem that requires a face-to-face meeting with your doctor. In that meeting, your doctor will listen to you, perform a throrough examination and possibly order labs or other tests. Based on this information, he/she will be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Possibly: Congestion in the lungs can have many causes. Since you smoke, you may also have a condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Pneumonia can also cause lung congestion. The best way to determine what is causing your congestion is for you to keep your followup appointments with your doctor. Pulmonary function testing and/or a chest xray may be needed to further investigate your problem.
