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 n tn ve been using Musinex along with decongestant every day. I also stopped smoking over 2mos ago, but the congestion got way worse after stopping the Norco. All a coincidence, I don't know. It is both in my chest and sinuses. You didn't happen to stop smoking recently along with the Norco quit, did you? Congrats to you on 40 days!
Avatar n tn Quit smoking 8 weeks ago (actually almost 9) haven't smoked at all. Went out got drunk took a drag. I threw up later on then the next day hang over central, the day after that bad flu still have it. Sore throat turned to nasal congestion now major chest congestion. It's insane. Could this be a "Quitters flu" can you get ill from smoking after stopping?
Avatar f tn However, yes, symptoms like anxiety and headaches can re-surface time and again for a few months, especially if you are stressed or around smokers or are sitting idle. Usually chest tightness is a common symptoms in those who quit smoking. This lasts for a few days after last cigarette. The tightness (not actually pain) is due to anxiety and stress and due to various changes in body due to nicotine withdrawal.
Avatar f tn It is cigarette smoking. For a young person at age 33 to have the wheezing, chest congestion, chest discomfort and recurrent bronchitis that you have experienced is very worrisome. You at least have chronic bronchitis, may have asthma and may be developing the permanent lung damage that leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). You must stop “torturing” your lungs.

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 m tn before I went to bed I smoked a ciggerete that a stranger was smoking already (the same on). The sore throat turned into Chest congestion, shortness of breath, a heavy cough, high blood pressure, I was scared. I went to the doctor she gave me antibotics.. Its been two months now.. in the process I have smoked but havent smoked for the last week or so. Whats scaring me is that I still have this wheezing in my chest and its been 2 months.. the wheezing comes and goes..
2038871 tn?1329798210 So the only complaint I have is chest congestion and coughing up yellow stuff since before surgery they have found no infection so will find out more tomorrow. Im having to use my enhaler more then 4 times a day to breathe. Of course I need to stop smoking and it has really curtailed me from doing so because I do like breathing. Will ask for patches tomorrow. Anesthieologist was great about asking about my liver and made adjustments accordingly. I know part of it is due to being put under.
Avatar m tn s hard to know if the wheezing could possibly be from congestion, which is very common in the earlier stages of a quit. In any case, you are far better off not smoking then smoking so everything hereafter is for the positive. If it continues and you are still worried, go see your physician. The last 3 years of smoking left me using Advair. I am happy to say that I don't need it any longer. Keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Im a male 32 years old necame a heavy smoker in last few years. About a year ago was diagnosed w upper res infection. Was given antibiotics and he cleared up to a degree but it is never cleared up after this day I have to clear my lungs constantly when I get everything out seconds later it starts to build back I spoke with my doctor he said that it's because I'm smoker and if I quit smoking it will go away.
Avatar m tn minus the blood. In addition, i have slight nasal congestion. My Dr. has ordered chest x-rays and ct scan of sinuses. I guess i have to wait and see, but in the meantime, have you learned anything more about your condition?
1718855 tn?1401756839 Rush I quit smoking about 5 years ago. I had to. I had both legs clogged. aorta by pass.and corroded artery .Smoking narrows the arteries and blood viens. which causes VERY poor circulation. That's what's wrong with my feet. They feel like I'm walking on needles and burn like fire. One leg is 70% blocked now. I'm telling you all this so you will stay strong and quit. I smoked for 60 years. I can't remember a time when I didn't have one in my hand.
Avatar f tn It was a nice hot windy day and I decided to have a smoking session. When I get back into the house it all goes down from there. Suddenly my chest feels as if it's being tighten to an extreme and I'm feeling as if I cannot get air at all as if I cannot breathe inside my house. Along with that, I was constantly shaking and trembling and it was so hard for me to speak or say anything let alone stand without feeling I was going to fall.
536455 tn?1213538065 I've noticed a bit of congestion in my chest a more or less persistent, sometimes very hard, cough.
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?
675923 tn?1296238011 First I need to know how long you have been sparking up on cigs and second, this could be anything from chest congestion to emphysema, or anxiety, since i am a professional anxiety sufferer in my attacks i get Shortness of breath, cold, dizzy, and an extreme rush if fear, which i found now very EXCITING!
Avatar m tn I have had a very productive cough for the past 2 weeks or so accompanied by equally productive nasal congestion. The stuff I am coughing up is relatively clear, some being a very pale yellow. Relatively clear lung sounds upon inspiration, but wheezing on end of expiration. I went to the doctor yesterday and I would simply like a second opinion, specifically on the radiologist's findings. A bit of history: 190lb male, 29 years of age, 1ppd smoker for about 14 years (yeah i know...
Avatar m tn ) and I think I may have it as well? I do have all the systems of it and I have been smoking a pack of cigs a day from 1985-now and I'm 46 now (so for 31 yrs or so).
Avatar m tn there isnt blood and some times it is white with yellow, but mostly always white, i also get mild chest pains and headaches, what could this be? could it be serious? also i smoked weed from time to time in that time period, i also quit that though, i have major anxiety that i have something bad. please help.
Avatar n tn I am pharmacist n as per my knowledge i took antibiotics for infection.And immediately with this illness i hav stopped smoking since a week as my cough n cold started.
Avatar n tn I felt like I caught a cold with chest congestion. The congestion and cough eventually toned down but I developed a rash in my mouth. The tip of my tongue taste buds seem to be swollen, itches to the touch and hurts a little if I scrape my teeth on the tongue. Prior to that I used a tongue scraper multiple times to clean my tongue. It has been over 2 weeks now and there are no signs of healing. The tongue feels the same though the rest of the mouth is not that bad like it was before.
