Know the warning signs If you have had a cough for more than a month, or if you have a hard time breathing with little or no physical exertion, you should consult your pulmonologist. Wheezing, coughing up blood, or coughing up phlegm for more than a month are also problematic, and if you have chest pain lasting a month or longer, get it checked out, particularly if breathing in or coughing makes it worse.
