Weird?

Ok, so I have been coughing up phlegm, or mucus or something for the past four weeks, it started out, I had a head cold / headache, it hurt when I coughed, when I coughed I would go into a coughing fit, after about 45 to a minute of non stop coughing I would cough up green stuff, I also couldnt really do much of anything but managed to go to work everyday. It started going away about a week ago, but now when I life my arms above my head to stretch or put something in a bin at work ( I work at a warehouse ) I start coughing and hacking and spitting up the mucus or phlegm, and now its starting to come out in like a semi solid form when I cough it up, I'm not one for doctors or medicine but this is getting to my head, and quite frankly I'm getting annoyed of it... by the way, I am a perfectly healthy 20 year old male, I work out everyday and get plenty or sleep and eat a healthy 50/50 or meat and greens, so I know its not that... but please, someone give me some guidance or something.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Weird?

It sounds like you have lung infection from the color of your sputum.
Yellow is not good green is worse if your not better yet I would see
Doctor.

Good luck.
