Avatar f tn It gets worsr i suffer from it daily im 30+4 during the day i dont use anything at night i but some vapor rub/vicks on my chest and dress warmly.
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 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. Help?
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 m tn For a cough, try something like guaifenesin, like Robitussin Severe Congestion Liquagels or Mucinex. Avoid dextramethorphan, like Robitussin DM. It is okay to treat the symptoms of your cough, but if you are getting symptoms that point toward bacterial infection requiring antibiotics, make sure you see your doctor. Examples of symptoms to watch for are fever, coughing up colored phlegm, pain in your chest when you cough, shortness of breath, or any symptoms lasting more than 10 days or so.
874521 tn?1424116797 it has been managed, however I now have a respiratory flu going on..with lots of chest congestion, the last 5 days I have been extremely short of breath.

My grandson is here visiting and he is on(occasionally)...a VENTOLIN inhaler...I think this has saved my life. I cannot get into see a doctor until Jan 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar n tn I have had severe chest congestion, a sharp pain deep in the center of my chest, it causes shallow breathing because it hurts to breath in and causes a severe cough attack. This has returned 3 times now in the past three months. The first time I came down with this, I went to my primary care dr.
Avatar f tn When I take my bra off it feels like an elephant sitting on my upper chest for the first 15 minutes. I do have mild asthma and take medication daily for that, I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Let me know what you find out. It is very annoying.
9905230 tn?1409232795 Do not use Neosynephrine nasal spray for longer than 3 days. You may take Robitussin DM for coughs or chest congestion. A warm salt-water gargle is recommended for a sore throat. Throat drops, spray, or lozenges are acceptable. A cool air vaporizer may help you sleep at night. Increased fluid intake and getting sufficient rest are essential. If your nasal or throat drainage changes from a clear color, please call the office.
Avatar f tn On Tuesday I was dealing with head congestion so I took one dose of DayQuil because I didn’t have Sudafed. The following day I took a multi vitamin (I don’t usually take vitamins). Over the next couple of days, I’ve become increasing restless with racing thoughts, insomnia, stomach upset and burning skin on my arms and chest especially while trying to sleep. I’ve encountered this once before a couple of years ago when changing migraine medications too fast.
Avatar f tn I continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
803938 tn?1403748253 When I was pregnant, I got a REALLY bad cold with nasal congestion. It was horrible. I didn't want to take medication, so I discovered a "Neti Pot." It's a little pot - kind of like a tea pot but small - and you use a warm saline solution (that comes with the pot) and pour it into one nostril. The water flows out your other nostril. It sounds gross - and it kinda is - but it saved me. It was wonderfu.. And you can do it as many times a day as you need.
Avatar m tn Hello all, for about a month now I have had a cough with chest congestion, sometimes it's productive, sometimes it's not, and I cough up green and yellow sputum. I also have nasal congestion and when I blog my nose it's green mucus. The symptoms actually seem to go away late night and return a while after I wake up. I have had no fever and no other symptoms. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Chymoral Forte is an anti-inflammatory drug. Pantosec (sometimes goes under the name of Pantoprazole) is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease which is also referred to as GERD. GERD is a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the food pipe (the food pip is called the esophagus). Pantosec is also used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid..

Avatar f tn asthma, chest congestion, epistaxis, hyperventilation, laryngismus, laryngitis, pneumonia, voice alteration; http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/venlafax_ad.htm Its hard to guess, but one thing I would suggest is calling your pharmacy and asking for one of their trained professionals to look at your medicine records and make sure there isnt the possibliity that the medicines your now taking couldnt singularly or in combination, cause your immune system to be supressed.
Avatar n tn I started having upper chest congestion last September. I went to my doctor 4 or 5 times over the winter because the congestion continued. Gradually it went down to my lower chest. Finally, I saw several specialists over the winter including a rheumatologist. She wanted me to see a cardiologist. I had a stress test, chemical, an angiogram, ultrasound and x-rays of my chest but didn't get a diagnosis. By early spring, I was getting short of breath.
Avatar n tn The child behavior site might be a better site to post - unless she is on ADHD medication. If this is a fairly recent thing it sounds like it could be due to sinus congestion. Can she breathe through her nose with her mouth closed? If she can't, then the sinuses are stopped up.Maybe allergies from spring time pollen? You might try a short acting nasal spray to open them up. They also have those nasal strips that go across the nose to help breathing. Tlhey make them for kids now.
