chest congestion pneumonia

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.

asthma, chest congestion, epistaxis, hyperventilation, laryngismus, laryngitis, pneumonia, voice alteration; http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/venlafax_ad.htm Its hard to guess, but one thing I would suggest is calling your pharmacy and asking for one of their trained professionals to look at your medicine records and make sure there isnt the possibliity that the medicines your now taking couldnt singularly or in combination, cause your immune system to be supressed.

A couple of days ago, I contract something outside and the next day, I began having serious chills, stuffy nose, chest feeling stuffy, etc. Then the next day, it got worse (and yes, I took medicine for flu/cold) with coughing up (I'm presuming) some bloody mucus several times (it's more like a rust color), dry coughing mostly, severe chest congestion (Robatusson {sp?} doesn't work), and severe congestion in my nose.

I've read that the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus causes a lot of body aches and pains, but if it's only in your chest, I'd be willing to bet it's pneumonia. Pneumonia always hurts deep inside.

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.

I have been sick for over 3 weeks now, to be exact, it's been 22 days. I started off with nasel congestion/runny nose. A few days later it felt like I might have a sinus infection, because of the nasel pressure and the body aches too. About a week and a half into this, I started having chest congestion/pressure/pain, and severe headaches to go along with the rest of my symptoms.

I have had high fevers, chills, and all but NO cough and NO phlegm whatsoever. The Pneumonia was diagnosed on a chest xray. Does it mean anything if I simply do not cough and have no desire to? Doesn't that infection have to come out somehow? Or can it just be that the pneumonia is only causing inflammation with no phlegm? I have been sick for 2 + weeks, and started antibiotics about a week after the onset of the chest pain, when I spiked 103 fever and chills, rapid heart rate.

Last week, I went to my primary care doctor last week after 3 weeks of cough/congestion. She sent me for chest xrays and started me on Albuterol inhaler, ZPak antibiotic (Azithromycin) for 5 days and mucinex. The xrays came back negative for pneumonia but indicated lungs were minimally hyperinflated. I've never smoked. I feel a bit better but still have the cough.(4 weeks now). Would Erythromycin be a better antibiotic to stop this cough?

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.

He now complaines of headaches, stomachaches, back pain thoughout the day on and off. Went back to doctor he thinks it's not sinus because of the two antibiotics. He asked me to give him Zyrtec (allergy med.) for two weeks to see if he has allergies. Coby has never been a sick child besides common colds and coughs, etc once in a while. In Oct. 2010 he was hosptialized with pneumonia for 3nights.

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.

I went to our local urgent care center this past Friday because of strange chest pain and upper back pain that “just didn’t feel normal”. I’ve been diagnosed with lobar pneumonia and was put on antibiotics. It’s been two days (5 doses of antibiotics, so far) and nothing has changed! There is still no congestion, no coughing (I’ve even had 5 doses of Musinex)...just fatigue and shortness of breath. The pain is on and off....I feel crazy!!! HELP?!? (No, I’ve not been sick...

Hello, A clinical examination and work up is important for correct diagnosis and management.Fever, chest pain and congestion can be due to an infection like pneumonia. High fever can be a symptom of infection or septicaemia.Hypotension, hypovolaemia, angina all can cause chest pain. Since she is unable to walk a portable X-ray chest may be helpful. Blood tests and blood culture may be helpful.

I got a second chest xray and it was clear. But i am experiencing that same lump feeling all over again. and chest congestion with anxiety. I read that acid reflux could cause aspirated pnemonia and now I am wondering if I will continuously have to worry about getting pnemonia, my anxiety is out of control. and making everything worse. I changed my sleeping position, and trying to change my diet. My fears of nexium causing pneumonia as well as keeping me from taking it.

I still have a low grade fever ranging from 99-100.2 degrees pretty consistently. My chest congestion is worse and lungs feel tight. Is this normal for H1N1?

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...

Hi, bronchitis leads to pleuritis (inflammation of pleural membrane which covers lungs) as a result pain is felt in coastal areas and in ribs. Are you having cough too? It is most of the time possible for doctor to diagnose pneumonia by auscaltating the chest which i am sure your doctor must have done it. Fever associated with chills is seen in viral bronchitis. What antibiotics are you having, if any? Still if you are apprehensive, please get the chest X ray done.

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.

I am a 35 year old female. I am overweight. I have had a cough and congestion for the last three months. For the last week or two I am starting to experience brain fog. I am forgetting peoples last names that I’ve known for years. The cough comes and goes. But it never fully goes away and sometimes it’s so hard that I’ll pee on myself. I went to the ER yesterday… They did a chest x-ray – no pneumonia. They took two swabs in my nose – no Covid.

m only so nervous about pneumonia because when my sister was a baby, my mom brought her into the hospital because her chest was caving in (later the Dr told my mom she was in respiratory arrest).

the reason i thought it could be pneumonia is because of the way is chest moves when he breathes and because RSV can cause pneumonia to be set up in your system since your system is low especially in toddlers!

however, in my case, it was due to chest congestion such as a cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, allergy, etc. After a complete and full recovery the tickley/itchy feeling would eventually deminish over a little time. Could it be possible that this may be the cause for you, as well? It is always a good idea to check with your doctor to determine the cause of any symptom you are experiencing that you may be concerned about. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day.

I actually took him to the ER last night and he has pneumonia! We are currently waiting for the doctor! You were right, he needed a different antibiotic!

d and went to emerg and they laughed at me.. if you can taste infection its mostlikely a sinus infection.. whitch will cause chest congestion.. whitch will make you cough and your teeth hurt and your ears hurt and give you headaches.. lol if you dont have thoese symptoms it could be pneumonia.. if the mucus is orange or green and you have not yet gone to the doctor i would go.. if its yellow or light green its viral and they cant do anything take advil and try and sleep..

Hi Cris: I'm sorry that you're experiencing this. Please do not worry, the stress can make things worse. What you really need to do is tell your parents of the situation and call the Doctor so that he can be the one to diagnose you. Sometimes if a cold sets into the chest, you can feel the symptoms in your back. Also, Walking Pneumonia can give you these symptoms. They call it walking because you really don't feel like you have Pneumonia...slight fever, congestion ect...

right now i have a lot of phlem, i have body ( on the back also) and head aches, nasal congestion and I snezze a lot, ocassionaly my chest hurts on the sides or in the middle, but before the cold it was there and getting better ) before the cold I felt a way better, only head aches, phlem, and occasionally a little bit of chest pain, I`ve never coughed nor had fever since I initially had pneumonia. the only medicine that Im taking is mucinex (guaifenesin) to thin out the phlem.

fatigue is so strong and lack of energy...I also do feel a very slight sensation of congestion in my chest..I have not seen any rashes on my skin or any noticable nodes......what is this?
