Common Questions and Answers about Cold congestion chest tightness

chest

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 m tn Soon after pain, I started to feel tightness in my chest. It is difficult to explain the tightness. It is not tightness caused by congestion. If feels like my chest is heavy or the muscles are laboring more to suck air into my lungs. Today the pain in the back feels more like a burning sensation. It also seems like my face is a little swollen. Any thoughts and help will be appreciated...
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 m tn It was difficult to breathe and there was tightness in my chest. I went to the doctor and was put on a nebulizer and diagnosed with allergies and acute bronchospasm. I was prescribed Flonase, Claritin, and an Albuterol inhaler to use when needed. The symptoms went away for a few days (it seemed like after the first roach treatment) but now they are back. I noticed that they seemed to get better once they sprayed for roaches, but I also woke up with what seemed like dirt in my nostrils.
Avatar f tn Albuterol is used to prevent and treat wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and coughing caused by lung diseases such as asthma. She has an infection at the moment and hopefully the course of antibiotics she is one will clear it up. If she is now asthmatic, she will have flare ups to irritants. These can be anything from sprays, smoke, the cold, the heat and a dry atmosphere, dust, dander, wool, pets etc.
Avatar f tn After eating certain foods I get quite a bit of mucus build-up in my lungs and find myself coughing a lot after meals. I'm 17 years old and don't think this is due to acid reflux as I don't have any other symptoms and am quite young. I notice it immediately after I finish eating (not sure if it actually starts during eating as I'm not really focused on how my chest feels while eating). Does anyone have any idea of what this may be?
Avatar n tn About 3 days after that I started getting a tightness in my chest and congestion, but not really a sore throat. The day after I had sex with my TS friend I french kissed a woman friend. My woman friend is now complaining of a sore throat 4 days after I kissed her. Is it possible I got throat gonorrhea from my TS friend and gave it to my woman friend by kissing her? Based on everything I've read, I think I'm over reacting and this is probably a virus that will run it's course.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me I can take robitussin DM for my cold. Is robitussin cough+Chest congestion DM the same thing?
1105253 tn?1257992401 People with GERD also tend to have a frequent cough, chest tightness, chest pain, neck pain, etc, because stomach acid is actually getting into your lungs. I notice that I often get pvcs when taking a deep breath and this is usually when my GERD symptoms are acting up. I really don't understand the correlation myself. lol.
Avatar m tn A week has gone on now since and the congestion may have gotten even worse, I have swollen lymph nodes and slight chest pain/tightness. However, the sore throat is gone now. Could this be a STD? Or is it just a sinus infection which I tend to get pretty often. I also have bad allergies and my roommate has complained about them this week as well, but he is no where as sick or congested as me, and I haven't had bad allergies yet this spring. So would you say allergies caused this? STD?
Avatar f tn So I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have a horrible cold...my nose and chest are conjested....does anyone have any suggestions???
170935 tn?1225371076 We both had a bad cough, congestion, tightness in our chest, sore throat, and sinus blockage and drainage. I'd go back to my doctor and let the doctor know you are still having problems. We have found if you don't clear this up with antibiotics, it will get worse and you'll just get sick again. Good luck.
Avatar f tn It was coming and going like if I am side tracked or busy its ok or when I first wake up before I am thinking about it its ok. Even right now I feel ok my chest feel tight kinda like a cold but thats it. Then theres moments its really bad but latley its been constence. Anyways my Doc, the ER doc, and my teachers (nursing) all say its anixety does this sound logical to anyone or does it sould like I am dying.
Avatar n tn I am a 29 year old who has been having chest tightness for about 3 days with a headache that comes and goes. I went to an urgent care for them to tell me nothing except that my vital signs are healthy, take no xrays, take no blood, etc. They prescribed me an inhaler thinking that it was an allegarine asthma. IT hasn't helped so far. When I work out, it doesn't bother me anymore. I am not short of breath; however, to take a deep breath takes a little more effort.
Avatar f tn I guess what you really need to do is get a methacholine challenge test. If's a test used to determine if you have asthma. Or rather it's better for ruling out asthma. Then you know if you need to pursue further treatment for your symptoms. Yes I agree a cough that brings up mucous regularly can be residual effects from bad lung infections. I do have the same problem.
Avatar m tn So, it started 2 days ago with clearly my throat, slight cough. Then it turned consistent cough and sinus pressure. Thankfully it was fall break from school so I had two days off. The first day I slept till 6 o'clock at night from falling asleep at 8 o'clock the night before. I woke up with a painful headache and sinus pressure in my face. I was congested with a mild fever, so I went on the attack.
Avatar n tn The first time I had covid, symptoms were very mild, brief sinus headache and congestion but also had mild difficulty taking deep breaths, it was a tightness in the chest. All my symptoms were gone in a few days except for the chest tightness and that weird issue where sometimes taking a deep breath was hard. It got better over the next year or so but recurred on occasion (maybe once a week or so for a few hours).
170935 tn?1225371076 me too!!!! i recently came down with what I thought was a cold and experienced extremely bad symptoms (coughing, wheezing, itchy, watery eyes, congestion) the whole bit! This was probably the worst "cold/flu" virus that I have had in my lifetime. I'm 32. Turns out about a week and a half later - I started to get twitching in my left eye and the muscles in the left side of my face started to weaken.
Avatar n tn It has been always five weeks since I was discharged from hospital now and since then I have developed chest tightness in the central region each time I take a deep breath. I also notice that I now feel tire easily and can't do any strenous work as my chest area feel kind of tight and tender. The latest x-ray results (two days ago) showed nothing and the nurse told me that my lungs are all clear. But right now as I write, I feel something not normal with my chest as it feels tight.
Avatar n tn 10 days ago I started off recovering from a chest cold, I have 2 bouts back to back. I was at work and had flushing of the face and numbness and tingling in the hands shortness of breath and had a panic attack. My blood pressure is high and is still high. iam taking benicar 20mg. I continued to have have breathing issues. most at night time. i have had dry mouth,bad taste chemical taste, low grade headaches, depression bouts I have not appetite ,it is suppressed, comes and goes.
Avatar n tn It started off as a minor sore throat, nothing that really bothered me and a bit of a stuffy nose. Within two days both of those were replaced with chest congestion, tightness, and a wet cough producing green phlegm. Now its been about 5 days of wheezing and this cough i can feel the congestion deep down in my lungs. When i breathe i can feel the phlegm and mucus and i wheeze when i exhale. It is usually worse at night before i go to sleep. Im not quite sure If i should go see my doctor.
Avatar f tn I have started with congestion..now I have a slight cough,but hurts my chest when I do. Is there anything you ladies can recommend in the meantime?? Thank you!!!
Avatar f tn 5mths first diagnosis was asthmatic bronchitis but now my doctor is saying that it may be allergies related. I have had chest tightness, coughing, trouble breathing, fatigue, dizziness and excess mucus. Over the weekend I had very bad chest tightness and could barely breathe. Trip to urgent care had me on my 3rd round of antibiotics and a 6 day tapered medrol pack.
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.
