chest congestion nasal congestion

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.

I have a constant nasal drip.

I have nasal, throat and chest congestin. When I sit I am fine but if I walk I have difficulty breathing. Sometimes I am near normal and other times it gets worse. I flew into New York from Sacramento, California thinking I had allergies but I cannot shake them this time.

The ENT specialist gave us nasal Avamys nasal spray and Fess nasal spray to use. No change in her condition after 3 weeks. I started putting Vicks Vapour Rub on her forehead, cheeks, nose and chest nightly about a week ago. Again, no change in her condition. Please we would value your advice. Thank you.

6 yr old Yorkie/Maltese mix. She has had severe nasal congestion for 4 weeks. Wheezing thru the nose, also gurgling purring sounds when exhaling. Lungs are clear. Has had a 10 day round of antibiotics and decongestant with no improvement. Had a 3 day breathing treatment, no improvement. 3 days ago her left eye appears to be bulging out. Went to vet again, pressures are normal. Was given another antibiotic, and eye drops. Was asked to come back on Monday to have someone else look at it.

This may or may not be related to allergies. This can cause chest tightness and chest congestion to the point of coughing up phlegm. A nasal wash helps remove mucus and bacteria from the nose and sinuses. This can temporarily reduce the postnasal drip and make it easier to breath. A prescription nasal steroid spray decreases nasal swelling and mucus production. This may prevent the postnasal drip and chest problems.

3 days after I got , what I thought was a simple cold with nasal congestion and low grade fever lasting couple of days. The nasal discharge has been copious and clear. My concern is the severe congested cough that has developed and lasting over a week/ my nasal discharge has lessoned and is still clear or white. I have coughing spells which last 5-10 mins d/t not being able to get the mucus up and out. I can constantly feel accumulation of mucus in my airway and upper chest.

Never had the problems you all have mentioned until I took the drug Levaquin for chest infection. Should have gotten rid of it on my own. (herbs and old wives remedies) Trusted my doctor who trusts the FDA!!. The drug is poisen. Has caused me many more complications. Tendon problems in legs, leg pain, blurred vision and now constant congestion and nasal problems. Haven't been on an antibiotic in over 20 years and this is what happens!!!

I feel like my head is swollen, I feel flush, the back of my eyes hurt, and it becomes better (no fever) after I sit up or go walking around until I lay back down again. I have tried chest congestion otc medicine (mucinex, tylenol, ibuprofen, antihistamines, nasal sprays, antacids of all kinds). For the last three weeks, also, I have been sick.

But last month I suddenly developed a mild sore/ticklish throat and by the next day I was heavily congested in my chest. No stuffy nose, no fever, just horrible coughing and phlegm that was difficult to cough up. I also had very achy joints and bad headache. It took about 4 days to get over it, but I coughed for a month afterward. Just when I got over it, again: a couple of days ago I felt a tickle/irritation in my throat and now I'm feeling miserable again.

I also have constant burning in my chest. lastly, I have some nasal congestion still but no noticeable drip. As far as the damage i do to myself.. I smoke marijuana every day for the last 5 years. Has anyone else had something similar?

I played tennis about 2 and half months ago and a few days later I felt heavy congestion in my chest with no mucas or coughing and no pain. At night it was difficult breathing but woke up with fairly clear breathing. I went to the doctor and had blood work and a Chest Xray and everything was normal. Over the past few years I have had refuxe and have taken prevacid. The doctor put me on a PPI thinking it could have been reflux that caused this.

I tried to live with the annoying sinus congestion, eye irritation, cough and chest congestion because I too couldn't find anytime that helped. Within 4 months of allergy shots almost all my symptoms are gone, I can even get cat hair in my eye without having it red and swollen for days. The other things that can help are a very good mattress cover. I got mine from achoo-allergy.

After being on Copaxone for 3 months I developed difficulty breathing and severe chest congestion and it will not go away even after taking broad spectrum antibiotics. My dr. denies any connection with Copaxone. But it is the only thing that has changed in my life - taking Copaxone injections. Has anyone heard of a link.

It seems like my sinus symptoms are getting better, but the weakness in the knees has stayed with me as well the chest congestion/breathing issue and the trouble swallowing which has been a little bit better with the advil. Do you think that I just have a viral infection that has caused all these symptoms and my body is trying to get rid of the virus? Do you have any suggestions of any other things I can do or any tests I should be tested for?

Hello, The post nasal drip that you are having is leading to these symptoms. Post-nasal drip (PND) occurs when excessive mucus is produced by the sinuses. The excess mucus accumulates in the throat or back of the nose. It can be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, or laryngopharyngeal acid reflux.The acid reflux in your case can be responsible for the post nasal drip. Eat small nutritious meals at frequent intervals instead of a heavy single meal.

Hi....I do not know about gerd causing chest congestion, but do know that congestion can cause gerd. So, if u have had post nasal drip, even if u r unaware that could have some impact on ur gerd. U may want to try a netti pot and do see ur ENT to rule these issues out or treat them if u do indeed have them. Also, check with ur GI dr to see if u may have another issue like a hiatal hernia going on.

Two years ago I got a cold sore from my boyfriend. From that point on I have had a very low grade variety of chest congestion. If I breathe deep I feel an urge to cough, but don't necesarily have to. It's a bizarre permanent feeling of slight congestion, - and it does not turn into anything more. Is there anything I can do about this? My GP thinks it so minor that it is not worth investigating, since I can be very active with no consequences.

For the past 3-4 months, I've had the following symptoms: - nasal Congestion with no nasal discharge, this is pretty much constant. It only abates when I exercise or take antihistamines/nasal sprays. - A sort of pressure over my face, primarily the forehead. I don't really know how to describe it, but something like a dull pain, perhaps. Rarely in the mornings, appears during the day and gets worse in the evening. - Cold hands and feet, but the hands are considerably colder.

My main alergy problem is sinus/nasal congestion. I almost lose the ability to breath through my nose. My primary care doctor warned about some over the counter preparations that can aggravate my AFib. On my 6 month check up with my cardiologist I asked. He seemed less concerned than my primary care doctor. The understanding I have from him is use whatever works and keep an eye/ear to what my heart is doing.

I have had severe sinus congestion for over a year now and have had a headache everyday as a result. About 2 weeks ago the pressure seemed to get worse along with painful swelling in all my glands from the shoulders up, and worsening post nasal drip. Now it hurts to even open my jaw and the antibiotics they gave me I can't take due to complecations with my UC. Any Suggestions???

Started with classic bronchitis symptome... sore throat, nasal congestion - yellow mucus, hoarse voice, frequent dry cough-note:about the same time I cleaned my mothers basement and porch which was FULL of dust and very damp and nasty. I spent about an hour down there. Saw my GP the day I got back and he said there was a virus going around. Two days later I woke up in the middle of the night with a deep whining-wheezing-gurgling sound in my chest.

Hello, I'm 25 y.o. male, non-smoker. I have the following issue: for about 2 weeks, every morning when I wake up and take a deep breath, my lungs sound congested, and make a "rattle"/vibration type sound, somewhere deep. It clears with one deep breath. Please note that it happens when I'm supine. It also happened when I was lying on either side, not too often though. Speaking of my past medical history.
