chest congestion lying down

Is the nasal congestion all the time or just when lying down, as when sleeping? Does the blockage ever move to the other side? How long has this congestion been giving problems - could it be an allergic reaction to something in your environment? I can't make any connection between the nasal congestion and the chest pain. Did they start about he same time?

Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Avoid lying down for least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!

Due to being sick for over a year (nausea, breathlessness, chest pain, fatigue, congestion whenever lying down, etc) my new PC doctor did a treadmill stress test... which all I know was "abnormal" (low activity level, ST changes, chest pain with dyspnea and bilateral hand/arm numbness). A Cardiologist did an angiogram. Results are: 1) left ventricular end-diastolic pressure= 20 mmHg. Left ventricular systolic pressure = 125 mmHg. No gradient across aortic valve.

I notice that my Rhinitis gets worse when I'm lying down. I find my nostrils blocked & sniffling when I lie down. I have to use my Neilmed "Lavage," Allegra, and/or Astellin when lying down, even If I did't have nasal congestion prior to lying down. Is this a concern and/or something I should mention to my Otolaryngologist?

When I go to lay down, I start to hyperventilate. I am told it is becauase they heart is not pumping as efficiiently as it should. I found that if I sleep on a wedge pillow, I can sleep normally. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/251047'>palpitations when laying down</a>.

Hi everyone...I hope your weekend has been great (and calm, heart-wise!) so far. I had an EP study on March 28 during which they discovered I had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The doc was able to ablate thankfully. Both before and after though, I've been dealing with frequent PVCs (and possibly PACs...not sure). I've gone through the major work-ups over the past 7 months or so...EKGs, Holters, event monitors, stress echo, stress test, CTA coronary...

Lying on the left side takes pressure off of the aorta which is the largest artery in the body. It's actually called "the recovery position" because it allows the most blood flow possible. I'm not sure who has told you that it's dangerous to lye on your back....

i feel breathing discomfort at night.. The chest pain is mild and I feel discomfort in general. Also I have a Nasal congestion issue for long time. I can feel that I have quite some amount of mucus in my throat. I dont have asthma but its in my family.,..

Yes, six years ago I had congested heart failure. The congestion was fluid leakage into the lung tissues. The heart was weak and more blood was coming into the heart than the heart was able to pump into circulation. Fluids leaked into the peripherals as well. I wasn't coughing up blood, but lying down I had a choking sensation and dry coughing...thought is it was a lung problem but was shocked to hear I had had a heart attack.

So I've been ill on and off for some time with nausea, headaches, joint pain etc I've also had on and off hints of chest pain and tightness but now whenever I'm lying down (occasionally when standing) I can hardly breathe and my chest is very sore. I haven't been getting sleep because it bothers me too much to get to sleep. No matter whether I'm on my side or on my back, I am left breathless and in pain. I was wondering what could be a cause of this?

im a bit of a health freak and ive been reading a lot about cardiomyopathy and heart failure symptoms and these symptoms sound a lot like some things I was going through . I was having pretty bad palpitations every day for quite some time it feltlike my heart would just flutter every so often through out the day . but this hasn't happened in the last 2 and a half or three weeks . its almost like the flutters have completely gone away .

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.

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.

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.

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?

i feel breathing discomfort at night.. The chest pain is mild and I feel discomfort in general. Also I have a Nasal congestion issue for long time. I can feel that I have quite some amount of mucus in my throat. Took omeprazole for 10days.

You may need to be eevaluated for other posible allergens, since allergies do get a little worse on lying down. However, there are other conditions of the respiratory and cardiovascular system which may need investigation. Coughs on lying down may also indicate some irritation to the lungs and thoracic cavity, by infections. This may require some investigation like a chest x-ray. Therefore, it is important that you see your doctor and get this investigated completely.

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.

t been as intense the last couple of days, but still there). It almost feels like really bad chest congestion, minus the cold symptoms. Sometimes (usually at night or if I'm lying down) it's accompanied by a sort of crawling sensation or lump in my throat, which lingers there for a few minutes and then disappears. I visited a walk-in clinic on Saturday: the doctor took a chest X-ray and an EKG, and both were normal.

Hi, I'am suffering from a long term alternating one-sided nasal congestion. I just didn't know if its just a what they called "Nasal Cycle" or a chronic congestion or turbinite reduction from what I've researched. So this is my situation: Every other time my one-sided nasal congestion will alternate to the other side and the other side will be blocked. And the congestion has also something to do in the way how I sleep or I mean which side a sleep.
