1396573 tn?1296336163 My 6-month old cat was spayed yesterday and she's had chest congestion ever since. The vet's office said her throat was probably scratched from the tracheal tube but it sounds like congestion not irritation. She's been coughing and I can hear the congestion. When I pet her I can feel rumbling in her body like there is congestion. She's been trying to play as normal so I've kept her in the bathrom or my dog's crate.
Avatar f tn You can do several things to help with congestion. Run a hot shower, as hot as possible to steam up your bathroom, then bring kitty in. If you have a humidifier, get that going. I am concerned with the swelling, so this may of gone into an infection. Is this the same kitty with the other two issues you posted about? This type of condition is likely due to the herpes virus. Do you have kitty on Lysine?
1206168 tn?1280367231 Water behind the ears or something, past heavy chest breathing, feels like lump in throat, past deep congestion, mucus back up, nose drainage. Feels like rice crispy pops in my head or ears on top of my head and side headaches with pressure. Throat feels like it is in dormant with on/off flare ups. Could it be a parasite in the brain. No medication has worked if it is a deep congestion issue.
Avatar m tn The best way that I can describe the way I feel is almost as though I am on the verge of getting a cold, a little runny nose, loss of energy, a slight cough, and it feels as though there is a constant pressure on my chest, that kind of makes it feel like my breathing is slightly restricted and a slight pain in my chest. Almost feels as though my chest is full of water. Although, I don't seem to weeze like usual and I only occasionally get a crackle or wheeze while breathing.
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 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 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. Help?
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 n tn After I eat, no matter what it is, I have to clear my chest of congestion and blow my nose for about 10 minutes. Why?
Avatar m tn t answer, but can sympathize with, congestion. It sounds like your problem is both congestion an drip, right? I have just congestion myself, but enough to interfere with my sleep. From a first reading the I note with specific interest the following. Nasal spray twice a day - what type? Afirin and that type can not be used every day, they can cause a worsening of the condition. Saline spray, I use that and also use a netipot irrigation.
1756384 tn?1312562154 m not real up on allergies although I know I do have some myself to my cats...mainly for me its sinus congestion, itchy eyes/ears/nose that sort of thing, I'v just started using aerius with some relief. good luck to you hon, I sure hope you don't have to get rid of the cats....remember even if you do the dander will be everywhere in your home anyway so may not be the entire relief you are looking for. please keep us posted and know how your doing. welcome to our forum... http://www.
Avatar n tn Live in Gilbert, AZ - air has been good since heat started - Took him off nasonex 3 weeks ago and after a week he started fevers/moodiness/not eating much/seems very mellow/today started bark cough from seemingly chest congestion/nose not runny. Not himself....could it be withdrawal from the Nasonex? What is a natural alternative?
1761287 tn?1313824787 goodmorning...another possible problem that needs to be checked out that I thought of after my reply is heart disease..cats will often have asthma type symptoms with that too.. as far as the bronchial herb, one thing that stands out is its distilled with alcohol and alcohol isn't safe for cats, there are many herbs in that formula, I couldn't find much info on whether they were all safe for cats...
746512 tn?1388807580 m considered to have reactive airways and on 250-50 advair which is either really helpful, or not helpful at all depending on the day (mainly in regards to congestion and/or stress). The doctor wouldn't start my allergy shots until we have the cough/possible asthma under control so it's just OTC meds for now.
Avatar n tn At home in the States, I am used to living in very healthy clean environment. I have always eaten all organic, naturally raised crops/animals from nearby farms. As far as cooking, I always grill, roast, or boil. I am careful to clean often, using a vacuum with an allergen reducer/HEEPA filter if I recall correctly. No artificial cleaning sprays, candles, etc are used EVER.
Avatar f tn I continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
170935 tn?1225371076 tickley/itchy feeling in your chest mostly in the upper back area. Its like I have to scratch my back but the itch is deep inside my body' Yes. I have experienced this same sensation several times; however, in my case, it was due to chest congestion such as a cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, allergy, etc. After a complete and full recovery the tickley/itchy feeling would eventually deminish over a little time. Could it be possible that this may be the cause for you, as well?
Avatar f tn Since my daughter was 3 months old she developed a congestion which lead to a runny nose..Couldnt give her anything, i was recommended to try a hot shower with steam, change in temperature in home..Well she has had that same runny nose and congestion for 6months now and only medicine is baby zarbies..I feel there may be more jus wanting a 2nd opinion..She still has all her energy and it doesnt seems to bother her at all, except days she feels she doesnt want to do much...
Avatar f tn I been having coughing, chest congestion, nasal congestion and coughing up nasty stuff (mucus) ewww. What can I take or what can I do to fight this bug? Because I feel hopeless.
Avatar f tn I feel like death. Headache, nausea, chest congestion, throats on fire. I am pumping in the vitamin c, but is there anything else I can do?
Avatar f tn severe head congestion, tired, tight chest. It started with a sore throat. Apparently it is a virus that is going around. I hope it goes as fast as it comes because I have already taken off two days of work. I have asthma so these things tend to make me feel worse than others.
Avatar m tn A bad gastric reflux can cause sinus like symptoms and chest congestions which are worst in the morning as that is the time the reflux is worst. Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You will need to take a combination of medications (under medical supervision) like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief.
Avatar f tn My question is the the last 3 months as I am laying down for a while I get a gurggle feeling in my chest and it almost feels like congestion so I make a cough to see if that would help and I have no congestion at all and the cough doesnt help. When I stand for a minute is when it will go away. Can you please tell me what this means or if I should go get a 2nd opinion??? Heart related issues runs on my mother side of the family and just about everyone has an issue.
Avatar f tn Clavamox (clavamic acid w/ammoxicillian) is the most common treatment and comes in both pill or liquid. Also, if there are other cats in the home, they would need treatment too. Even if they don't have symptoms yet...as they may have it but not bad enough for symptoms so you just want to make sure incase they would get sick later and reinfect the home again. If your kitty is not eating much or at all and not drinking much or at all please get to the vet soon.
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?
