chest

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 Two weeks ago I was really sick - fever, body aches, chills, headache, sore throat, some sneezing, mild runny nose, and some heaviness in my chest. All the symptoms are gone, now I have some chest congestion and sinus drainage. But I still feel run down. I haven't been sleeping great due to the coughing (and unfortunate worrying that something more serious is going on). I'm wondering if anyone else is dealing with this?
Avatar f tn Halls are ok but ricolas are better. A home remedy I use for cough and congestion Is sitting in a bathroom with the steam from a shower and just taking regular breaths. It breaks up the mucus and relaxes your airway.
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 n tn If the secretions where too thick to break up before you took the antibiotic, then the medicine is working, it is breaking that congestion up, which will rattle more in your chest and you will cough more to get the serections out. Try taking OTC guaifenesin this will help with the thinning of secretions and make it easier to cough up the mucus that is in your lungs. Also drink plenty of water. If you dont feel better soon take to your md, also make sure your not running any fever.
Avatar f tn There are many reasons for congestion in chest. If you are having difficulty in breathing and congestion then it is asthma. You have been diagnosed with asthma. Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airway and mainly arises from allergies. Some of the common characteristics or symptoms of asthma are recurrent breathing problems, breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing etc. Some other causes for congestion are inflammation, heart disorders, pleurisy etc.
Avatar n tn I have been having lung congestion for several years and I asked my doctor for a sputum analysis. It came back that I have penicillium species (mold) in my lungs. He indicated that he had no remedy other than a very toxic medication and he recommended not giving it to me but just to keep taking Advair which only works marginally. If you have any recommendations to clear this out of my lungs I would be grateful.
Avatar f tn Irrigate your sinuses with saline solution (salt water). It's truly the best remedy. Hope you feel better soon! I had a sinus infection for a lot of my pregnancy and it's horrible.
Avatar n tn When you are pregnant, most sore throats are caused by congestion and post-nasal drip. You can try a natural remedy, for example a saltwater gargle, or hot water mixed with lemon, honey, and garlic. The previously mentioned mixture is a natural antibiotic. Chewing the little slice of garlic will treat the sore throat very quickly. It will kill whatever bacteria found at the back of the throat, and it will help with the congestion.
Avatar n tn I've been sick for almost 4 days now any remedy for congestion??? It's really hard for me to breath it's *****!!!
Avatar m tn s hard to sleep at night, because the chest congestion builds up and I have to get up and cough my head off to get all the congestion out. But as soon as I clear it out, more just comes right back. It's like I have no cilia but I do not smoke and I don't work in a coal mine. Because of the continual post nasal drip, my throat stays a little sore and it remains that way until I get over the infection.
Avatar f tn I continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
Avatar f tn Hot soup and tea always helps, it's nasty but melts the mucus dropping from your nasal passages. You can also use a Netty pot, it'll clean you out for a while.
Avatar n tn In terms of relieving any congestion you may have, a decongestant is the best option. These types of drugs help clear up sinus and head congestion. Phenylephrine is available over the counter at drug stores. Some people feel that another decongestant, pseudoephedrine, works better than phenylephrine. Pseudoephedrine is available behind the counter at drug stores.
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?
Avatar m tn Plus, I wake up in the morning and my chest is congested. Sometimes when I first get up, it hurts to take a deep breath, as if it would hurt when you inhale water. However, once I stand up and cough once or twice, it goes away for the entire day and I forget about it. The only time I ever feel this during the day is on a weekend if I slouch down on the couch with my feet at the edge of the ottoman and my knees drawn up.

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.
