Avatar n tn I hope you are getting some relief from your chest congestion. Mucus is like poison to the lungs and it must be released for both the sake of your health and your comfort! A natural mucokinetic is found in salt therapy. You should either breathe in the steam from a saline solution with your head tented over a bowl (the economic alternative) or check out the salt pipe inhalers (dry salt inhalation therapy) at: http://www.saltrocks.
Avatar f tn I am starting to get over a crucial cold the only thing that is hanging around is the chest congestion and cough, but all day today i have felt a little disoriented and now i cant hold anything down not even water.. So everytime i cough i also throw up, its horrible. Is there anything that i can safely take to get some relief, im 33 Weeks exactly today. I just want to curl up in my bed and sleep this off but I cant find anyone to relieve me from work....
Avatar m tn Sorry- you may need more info. I have been to the ER twice for the same symptoms.All tests are negative. Sharp pain between and under shoulder blades. First time was the left side second time was the right. Pain in solar plexis and rib cage, feels like someone used me as a punching bag. Also sharp pain in chest and painful when breathing. After reading other posts am convinced it is gas but there are no meds to relieve this type of gas!!! How do I relieve pain so I don't have to go to ER?
Avatar f tn What I mean is, my symptoms always go away eventually so how can I tell whether it was the nitro that helped relieve them? The first time was during the afternoon last week when I was having a squeezing heaviness in the center of my chest. The nitro made my heart pound and moved the center of the heaviness upward toward my throat, and gave me a throbbing headache.
Avatar n tn Is the nasal congestion all the time or just when lying down, as when sleeping? Does the blockage ever move to the other side? How long has this congestion been giving problems - could it be an allergic reaction to something in your environment? I can't make any connection between the nasal congestion and the chest pain. Did they start about he same time?
Avatar n tn m fed up of not sleeping with the congestion. I have a tub of Vicks, how would you recommend using it? Apparently if u put it on the soles of your feet it works, but never has done for me. I also have a Vicks (I think) Sinex nasal spray - would I be ok using that do u think?
Avatar m tn For the last five months, I've been with congestion, chest pain and shortness of breath. I've been wheezing a lot and I can't run a lap without wheezing for breath. I don't have asthma, or any health problem. Should I be worrried, and how could I relieve this?
Avatar n tn 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.
874521 tn?1424116797 it has been managed, however I now have a respiratory flu going on..with lots of chest congestion, the last 5 days I have been extremely short of breath. I nearly went to the ER at one point a few days ago..however I'm doing something I know full well I shouldn't be!! My grandson is here visiting and he is on(occasionally)...a VENTOLIN inhaler...I think this has saved my life. I cannot get into see a doctor until Jan 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn m 26 +4 and feel like total Crap, congestion amd coughing. Does anybody know what I can take or do to help relieve symptoms. Any advice would be brill!
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 n tn You can buy Vick especially for young children and you can apply this to her chest and back to help relieve any congestion. If she does have a fever, you can give her child medications that bring the fever down and also put on light clothing and apply a cool compress to her head. If she has a cough and a lot of congestion, you can also put a bowl of hot water with some Vick in her room, making sure that she cannot get to it because of the hot water.
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 Dusting powder may be used to increase comfort. To relieve discomfort and prevent complications, topical treatments may include: calamine lotion to soothe itching, anhydrous lanolin which may help prevent duct blockage and stop new lesions from forming, and topical steroids in the most serious cases. Allergic reaction may be triggered by a known cause. Do you have history of allergy?
1581202 tn?1296527842 the only thing u can take when pregnant is benadryl which may help clear ur sinuses... robitussin for cough and chest congestion, and tylenol for pain and fever... do not take anything with out consulting your doctor first! many medications have dangerous chemicals that can harm baby!!
Avatar m tn re an anxiety sufferer because of the drug you were trying and being on this forum -- they sound more like anxiety attack symptoms or not related to anxiety at all or the drug but from some kind of congestion in your chest. Were you anxious about going on the med? My suggestion is, see a doctor to check if you have lung congestion or something like it, and if you're still functioning okay see a therapist and see if you can work out your anxiety problems.
Avatar n tn In September, came down with horrific sinus infection that I attempted to treat over the counter, with poor results. Had lingering congestion and post nasal drip and pain in my head and rear base of neck. No fever except for first day of infection. Congestion and pain in my chest lasted for 6 weeks. Doctor gave steriod shot and z pack. 21 days later congestion returned, new antibiotic and flonaise prescibed. No fever as i check everyday.
Avatar f tn t help much because we can only take the one for chest congestion and not nasal congestion. You can try Benadryl. Otherwise, I just ate oranges, drank plenty of water and rested. I was better in 4 days.
Avatar f tn I am 17, of normal to slightly underweight, and rarely have coughing problems or much wheezing - my real problem seems to be breathlessness, but a feeling of breathlessness, not actually struggling to breathe. Also, my blue inhaler never seems to relieve my discomfort much - I usually have to wait until it stops.
Avatar f tn But not the nasal congestion or the lung congestion.I have no cough to try and get the phglem out of the lung. So I have to try and hack and push it out. I cannot seem to get rid of it completely. Chest is sore from trying to force this up. I must note here I have extreme anxiety which is probably not helping. When I take my walk I notice shortness of breath when I walk up a steep hill.
Avatar f tn I'm a ftm, 14w 2d I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to eliminate congestion???
Avatar m tn I've had open heart surgery when I was younger due to a gunshot wound to the chest. The doctor said he took out my spleen, repaired my left collapsed lung, and fixed my diaphram plus the open heart surgery. Anyway about two years after my surgery I started developing serious pain in my fingers left leg and chest. The only thing that relieves it is the popping of my fingers legs toes etc.
Avatar f tn I had a cough and nasal congestion for all most 2 months! It sucked so bad! The doctor told me to take children's mucinex and cough drops! The vicks vapor rub on my feet helped the best at night! Good luck! My nose is still running!
1074308 tn?1256830824 Is your pain in your stomach itself or is it in your lower abdomen, since you took a laxative? Did you also take simethicone in case of gas, which can cause pain? If these things don't relieve it, you really need to get into a doctor.
