Common Questions and Answers about Chest congestion in the morning

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.
362809 tn?1233506554 Well, it's finally here. I'm having surgery for my recurrent thyroid cancer in the morning. This is still contingent on if I have a fever in the morning (I've been sick) but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I saw my endocrinologist today and while I was there asked him to listen to my chest to make sure it wasn't congested because they said that is one thing, other than fever, they would cancel the surgery for. Luckily, no congestion, but my temp was 99.6.
1423878 tn?1282883632 I also am getting a stuffy nose and extreme congestion in my throat causeing me to have to clear my throat all the time. I feel spaced out and run down alot. I wanted to know if anyone else had similar symptoms as me? Another thing that has been happening is that when I wake up in the morning it seems to be worse. I wake up short of breath and get heart palps. I am so scared of doing anything strenious because I am afraid if I do my heart is going to stop and I am going to drop dead.
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 I have all of these symptoms but, Has anyone had diarrhea? I have had this symptom for almost a week and just this morning it got to the point of going 5 times already today. Is this part of this flu or something completely different.
Avatar m tn For last 1 1/2 weeks my chest has a pain in the center. Notice in the morning after laying down and when I swallow I feel pain. I had a cold/flu approx. 6 weeks ago and was able to function after about 2 days. However, I have had a persistent cough that never seem to go away. Its not all the time once I am up in the morning it eleveates for the most part but annoying. I have recently started on ibuprophen and it helps a little. I do not feel like I have congestion.
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 I hope you are getting some relief from your chest congestion. Mucus is like poison to the lungs and it must be released for both the sake of your health and your comfort! A natural mucokinetic is found in salt therapy. You should either breathe in the steam from a saline solution with your head tented over a bowl (the economic alternative) or check out the salt pipe inhalers (dry salt inhalation therapy) at: http://www.saltrocks.
Avatar f tn I have the same problem, pain in the lower chest it seems. I take symbicort and singulair. Does anyone know if this Zithromycin treatment works?

422924 tn?1331764319 the problem is i would wake up in the morning with chest congestion stuffy nose. i do have carpets in my bedroom and living room do you suggest me to get tested. for allergies. also when i got my chest xray no signs of emphysema.
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 think it might be the cold virus plus the mucus. Maybe it'll get better in the 2nd trimester? Hahaha. Fingers crossed!
1936550 tn?1348360208 Yeah it should be the regular mucinex. If you have any honey in the house, that will double as a good natural cough syrup until you can get to a store.
1039460 tn?1252965275 I woke up this morning and had the worst pain in the right side of my chest. It really hurts the worst when i breathe in deeply, doesnt hurt with short breaths. I had a friend come over this weekend and smoked alot more cigarettes than normal. Its only started this morning so its been goin on for about ten hours so far. I dont feel sick, i'm not coughing, its just simply every time i breathe in deeply.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have similar kind of problem, its really hard to breath in the early morning on the bed at about 5 am, but just in winter season, i don't have any serious cold issues , but cough, it makes too hard for me to breath in the early morning, i couldn't even sleep due to this, i had the same problem in the last is well, what kind of problem it is, can it be cured completely..??
1331558 tn?1317687687 I get almost a postnasal drip theme in the morning and nasal congestion but they get better during the day. It seems only in the morning and night, the tickle in the throat comes back and postnasal drip occurs. It never bothers me when I sleep. Until recently, I feel I have an ache under my left side of my chest and near my shoulder blade on the left side of my body. I breathe perfectly fine and it is not affecting my abdominal area in any way. Could this be Allergic related?
Avatar n tn They may want you to come in, but they may just call in an antibiotic over the phone. The first time I coughed up blood my GP called in the script without seeing me. The second time I had just started antibiotics from my asthma doctor and and my GP just said it was good that I needed the antibotics. You really do need to see a doctor as the blood is a sign of a serious infection at best. That type of infection can cause lung damage. So get it taken care of.
Avatar f tn so i went to doctor again and he prescribed the same thing but now i have alot of cough feel nausiated some phlem comes up a lil green in the morning and the rest of the day its clear...
Avatar f tn It cures my stuffy nose in the morning for 2 days. Since this problem, I cannot even think about of any cool drinks, ice cream, bathing in the evenings. I'm totally out of them. I also notice that if I lay on the side where the nostril is not stuffy, the stuffyness clear up. If the other side happened, i'm totally busted even if I had Cetirizine in the previous night. I need to know whether a permanent way to cure available for this. Is the Citrizine dosage not good for my body?
Avatar f tn The enlarged node in the armpit may suggest infections in the chest especially in the areas of the breast and the arms. An enlarged node in the groin requires a complete pelvic examination. The bump in the armpit may be an infected lymph node or it may be a superficial skin infection like a boil, folliculitis, or an infected insect bite. You may need oral antibiotics for this. Does the bump n eh armpits present with discharge?
Avatar n tn t anything painful, just uncomfortable, and I assumed that I was developing some congestion due to a cold. 2 weeks later, I still have the pressure in my chest, but I never developed a cough or fever or anything else that I would associate with a common sickness. It seems to get worse when I do have to walk up stairs or exert myself, but it never goes away even when I have been resting for several hours. This morning I was almost late to a class so I was out of breath when I got there.
Avatar f tn I'm not sure if this works because I don't see a reply option. Thanks for the information! I felt better this morning (the day after the hike) and I'm sure it was just the altitude because my legs don't hurt at all. I didn't even think about the altitude when we started the hike, but now I know that I'm not cut out for it. I certainly won't attempt it again without a trainer or until I know I'm in good enough shape for it.
Avatar f tn it was darker. Well, a week later, today i still am coughing up blood in the morning. It actually has had some bright, fresh, blood in it but it isn't in that big of quantities. It's the sixteenth and i've been wheezy since the eighth. I no longer have a family doctor and lost my job over three months ago now.. Should i go to emergency?? Doctor dropped me cause i took longer than a year to get a check up and NO ONE is taking new uninsured patients.
Avatar f tn I, too, have trouble breathing in the morning. It started initially a few years ago when I had bronchitis. After I was treated, it got better but for the past 9 months it has been a daily problem. When I say trouble breathing, I mean scary like I can't catch my breath and I feel like I'm under water and will pass out. This makes me panic. I have to be really careful how fast I move for the first hour after waking up. Once I start coughing and remove some lung congestion, it improves.
