Congestion chest pressure
Common Questions and Answers about Congestion chest pressure
chest
t anything painful, just uncomfortable, and I assumed that I was developing some congestion due to a cold. 2 weeks later, I still have the pressure in my chest, but I never developed a cough or fever or anything else that I would associate with a common sickness. It seems to get worse when I do have to walk up stairs or exert myself, but it never goes away even when I have been resting for several hours. This morning I was almost late to a class so I was out of breath when I got there.
How long can I expect this to last/what have others experienced? Also nasal congestion and pressure, is this too a residual part of withdrawal?
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 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.

I am a 66 year old female. I smoke a few cigarettes a day. I have had this for about 5 weeks now. It started with sneezing and runny nose (along with sinus congestion that is almost always present even before this episode). The sneezing and runny nose are gone. I am so stuffed up that I cannot get much air through either nostril. This is an ongoing problem that was present when this began.
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.
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.
May any of this be side effects of lavoquin or his chest congestion, which now im questioning if it is a congestion anymore. How can you decipher chest pain from chest congestion vs.
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.
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.
I have bronchial asthma and every blood pressure medicine I have taken causes a constant cough and wheezing. Are there any medications I can take that doesn't cause these side effects? I have tried ToProl, Lisinipril, Tekturna, and now am on Verapamil Extended Release.
I have regular congestion in my nose, this causes pressure in my head, as well as affecting my sense of smell and taste. It is not something I have all the time, though it can be a weekly occurrence. If I blow my nose it seems that the pressure increases and brings a strange smell or sensation to my nose. I cannot explain this as it seems to be a pressure related smell, but not like when you normally react to a smell - hence me wondering if it is a sensation caused by the pressure.
I was wondering about something, about 3 weeks ago i went to my doctor because I had chest pressure which was something i never experience. She hooked up a ekg machine to me and my heart came out normal and she put a stethoscope to my back and said my lungs sound goo too. I'm a ex smoker (quit just recently) She said it was due to anxiety because the pressure comes and goes and she didn't find anything else wrong with me.
I am almost 10wks and have come down with a cold. Sinus pressure, coughing and chest pain. For my previous pregnancies my ob said i could take plain mucinex. So i took it a couple if days this week and it has not really helped. So when looking for other options online I'm reading that you cannot take ANYTHING during the first trimester. So now I'm sick and scared since I've taken the, mucinex already and have also taken dramamine a few times due to dizziness and nausea.
Went to bed after walking on the treadmill & lifting some weights. I've been trying to eat better & walk on the treadmill. The weight lifting was only a one time thing that was the night before. I'm a single dad of a 5yr old & it scared me when I couldn't catch my breath and my chest felt pressure and just an odd feeling, so I called my mom to come over at 4am. She checked all my vital signs & they seem fine.
