Common Questions and Answers about Chest congestion causes

chest

Avatar f tn What it feels like is the chronic post nasal drip I have has caused congestion in my upper chest. However, the weird part is, I really have no cough, and the occasional cough has never brought anything up. In the past, if my chest begins to feel this way, it is followed by the painful cough and coughing stuff up. I would not call what I have sometimes as pain, it feels more like irritation. When I am active, as well as when I drink a lot of water, it seems to be much better.

Avatar n tn Hi, welcome to the forum, there are many reasons for congestion in chest. If you are having difficulty in breathing and congestion then may be a asthma. Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airway and mainly arises from allergies. Hence you have allergy in past few days; there is release of endogenous histamine which causes bronchospasm and breathlessness.
Avatar n tn For about a year now I have had a cough and chest congestion, my doctor has switched my asthma medications several times thinking that might be the reason for my cough and congestion, she's tried many different types of allery medications, I have been to the pulmonologist, had a chest x-ray and nothing was found, but the cough and congestion I still have.
Avatar f tn I have severe chest congestion. This has been going on for about 3 months. It's strange because I will have constant congestion and cough one day and the next day I will be almost clear. I know that if I have congestion one day the next day I will not. I plan my days accordingly. My dr. has put me on antiboitics and presidone twice in the last 3 months, I've had a chest x-ray last week, shows nothing. I have had allergies all my life.
Avatar f tn I have this tightness in my chest i kno its mucus but i dont have a cough or cold it hurts when i try to take a deep breath ive never had chest congestion before im not coughing up blood or anything like that. ive been using my asthma pump because when i was younger i had trouble with asthma it helps clearing my airways so i can breath easier but it comes back after awhile.

Avatar n tn I advise to consult with a doctor for testing to find cause, I know when I have chest congestion or post nasal drip, I'm always clearing tons of clear mucus from my system, feel like I'm drowning in mucus sometimes. But get checked out by a doctor, for proper diagnoses and treatments.
Avatar m tn Upper Respiratory Congestion We have all experienced congestion in our upper airway due to colds, allergies, and other conditions. The post-nasal drip that accompanies congestion is the single most common condition that causes wheezing during exercise. Mucus from the nasal cavity drains and accumulates in the area around the vocal cords, which becomes the site of relative obstruction.
Avatar m tn I have regular congestion in my nose, this causes pressure in my head, as well as affecting my sense of smell and taste. It is not something I have all the time, though it can be a weekly occurrence. If I blow my nose it seems that the pressure increases and brings a strange smell or sensation to my nose. I cannot explain this as it seems to be a pressure related smell, but not like when you normally react to a smell - hence me wondering if it is a sensation caused by the pressure.

Avatar f tn Hi, this could be due to muscular pain or lung congestion, other causes could be angina, oesophagitis etc. Please get stress ECHO done along with cervical x ray to rule out stress induced angina and cervical spondylosis. Try anti acid drugs like ranitidine, omeprazole for a week or so.
1331558 tn?1317687687 My problem started on the first week of July with mucus or something of it stuck in my throat. It causes me to cough non-productively and forces me to constantly clear my throat. I sometimes get random pressure behind my eyes, the temples of my head (left or right), random aches around the jaw line, These aren't constant problems but they come and go and they are not gradual. My voice gets a little hoarse or groggy like until I clear my throat once more.

Avatar f tn Aside from the eye pain, are there other symptoms present like headache, congestion or tearing of the eye?

Avatar f tn Im 8wks 5dys and the last two days I've had terrible nasal congestion it's so irritating idk what to do. Is there anything I can take or will breath right strips be ok to use?
Avatar n tn If the secretions where too thick to break up before you took the antibiotic, then the medicine is working, it is breaking that congestion up, which will rattle more in your chest and you will cough more to get the serections out. Try taking OTC guaifenesin this will help with the thinning of secretions and make it easier to cough up the mucus that is in your lungs. Also drink plenty of water. If you dont feel better soon take to your md, also make sure your not running any fever.
Avatar n tn Also if you are having severe chest congestion with pain you need cardiologist advice and some related test like ECG etc. Take care and regards.
Avatar m tn Plus, I wake up in the morning and my chest is congested. Sometimes when I first get up, it hurts to take a deep breath, as if it would hurt when you inhale water. However, once I stand up and cough once or twice, it goes away for the entire day and I forget about it. The only time I ever feel this during the day is on a weekend if I slouch down on the couch with my feet at the edge of the ottoman and my knees drawn up.
