Avatar n tn Is there a bug going around at the moment? I have been feeling very tired, headache every day when I cough my head hurts like mad. My shoulders and neck are aching which make me feel sick sometimes, I had shivers on Sunday and went to bed during the day, I haven't gone to work today, I woke up at 6.30am went back to sleep at 7.30 until 10.00 then again until 12.00 then again until 1.00pm, I feel drained, although I am eating.
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 went to a walk-in clinic last Friday out of shear misery with a virus. Lots of drainage yet stuffy at times, a cough that was driving me crazy and keeping me awake, so I was incredibly tired.
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 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 Go to a hospital so that you can have head and chest x-rays. A chest x-ray is the ONLY way to rule out pneumonia. If you are getting the chest X-ray then no reason not to also have the head X-ray. Doctors treat a sinus infection they can see much more rigorously. Then leave with a good strong antibiotic, if it is a sinus infection you might try Avelox.
203342 tn?1328737207 My mom has had really bad chest congestion and coughing for about 3 weeks now. She also has some chest tightness. She sounded terrible today when I called her. I'm worried because she had 3 stints put in her heart about 3 years ago and has heart disease. Could the chest congestion have anything to do with her heart? I'm just a little worried about her and wondered. Thanks for any info on this.
Avatar n tn For about 3 weeks now, I have been having this sunburned feeling, sore throat, pulsating head and mild gastrointestinal issues. For the 2nd week I also had a cold, coughing, congestion but that is clearing I am fine now in the day and start with the sunburn feeling etc around 5 And it lasts till about 11, and eases when I sleep! Standard blood tests and chest X-ray were fine. My doctor says it is probably a virus! This is so weird .
323985 tn?1194534997 I've developed flu like symptoms (head and chest congestion, some hearing loss in one ear, unable to taste... well, anything, occassional sweats regardless of inside home temp). I have had some 'pain' in my chest over the past week (has happened 6 or 7 times, lasts a few seconds). Also, I have noticed 'pea' sized, white blisters on the back of my tongue. Not sure whether all of these are related or are random.
Avatar f tn severe head congestion, tired, tight chest. It started with a sore throat. Apparently it is a virus that is going around. I hope it goes as fast as it comes because I have already taken off two days of work. I have asthma so these things tend to make me feel worse than others.
Avatar f tn 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.
1084197 tn?1258493890 You must have a really bad cough if you can feel the mucous rattling around in your chest. For how long has this been going on for? It will take a number of weeks to get rid of all the excess mucous in your lungs. The mucous in asthma is especially sticky and I have found it's very hard to cough it up. Well, that fact that your breathing has improved is a good sign, that means your airways have opened up.
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 I have had chest congestion for a week. I also have gotten a headache a couple times. Bad Coughing at night. I'm 35 1/2weeks pregnant. I've been taking robitissin cough and congestion and Tylenol. It helps but it's still here. Should I see/call my ob/gyn or see a regular physician?
Avatar f tn t think coughing and chest congestion is part of it. It is cold and flu season so maybe you have a cold? I could be wrong though.
Avatar m tn For last 1 1/2 weeks my chest has a pain in the center. Notice in the morning after laying down and when I swallow I feel pain. I had a cold/flu approx. 6 weeks ago and was able to function after about 2 days. However, I have had a persistent cough that never seem to go away. Its not all the time once I am up in the morning it eleveates for the most part but annoying. I have recently started on ibuprophen and it helps a little. I do not feel like I have congestion.
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.
Avatar f tn I continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
16898319 tn?1452220901 Now I got this horrible cough and chest pain when I do, like a burning sensation. by now my congestion is gone so no runny nose or pressure like before. I have coughed up yellow mucus streaked with blood (very little blood) only twice. but haven't since. I wrote it off as irritation but this cough and burning sensation in my chest has got me worried. and I dont want to go to my doctor again for it if it is just the aftermath of my cold.
Avatar f tn After being on Copaxone for 3 months I developed difficulty breathing and severe chest congestion and it will not go away even after taking broad spectrum antibiotics. My dr. denies any connection with Copaxone. But it is the only thing that has changed in my life - taking Copaxone injections. Has anyone heard of a link.
Avatar f tn Can Bronchiectasis result after just one run in with acute bronchitis that lasted about 3 weeks? I read that it can occur after recurrent infections, but I only had one...acute bronchitis. I ask this because after being diagnosed with acute bronchitis 5 weeks ago and having it for 3 weeks, my cough got MUCH MUCH better, but I still can hear/feel the "chest congestion" and purposefully cough to attempt to get rid of the phlegm in my lungs/chest.
Avatar m tn I end up with a sore throat for a few days, often accompanied with occasional difficulty swallowing (like a swollen throat), trouble breathing (not sure if chest congestion or because of a swollen throat) and nasal congestion. This has happened whether it's with a regular partner or if it's just a one-time hook up with someone. It seems more likely to happen after aggressive sex, but it happens plenty of times without the sex being aggressive.
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?
