chest

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 continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
Avatar n tn I'm 17 weeks pregnant and today I woke up with conjugation in my chest with a sore throats and I keep coughing. Just wondering if this is causeing harm to my baby.
Avatar n tn It’s weird because if gives no relief is chest is pressed so I believe it might have to do something with underneath the rib. Secondly, as head is moved side ways or as chin is put down it hurts and breathing intensifies the pain a bit. Thirdly, I’ve noticed that this pain is common when temperature drops(rainy season/winter) lack of sunshine and it strikes over night only(no breathing problems as such).
Avatar f tn Did 2 complete antibiotic regemes... finally had a chest xray since I was still coughing and the doc cough hear congestion in both sides of mylungs. Three weeks later and I still have this night wheezing and sensation in the lower lungs which is loud enough to wake me... and my husband. Eventually, I cough and cough and sometimes produce a "plug" of mucus. This gives me relief and I can sleep. But the wheezing returns...
Avatar m tn 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.
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 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 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 f tn Probably not because the ones with congestion relief have stuff in them that you shouldn't have.
Avatar f tn I started to develop cold like symptoms, running nose, chest congestion, mild headaches, thought it would pass so I went out to do fall activities with friends in the cold, the cold got worse. I finally went to a doctor, he gave me antibiotics. At the time I just had yellowish, brown phlegm and mild headaches and tiredness. About a week later, I still felt crappy so I went back. This time I had HORRIBLE migraines frequently then turned into everyday, phlegm still around.
Avatar f tn im 5 months 1 week is it ssafe ti use vicks vapor rub in my chest to help wit b my congestion???.
Avatar n tn I also found soaking a cloth in hot water and putting it on my chest really helps, or either making a hot mustard paste compress for my chest or a hot mustard foot soak really helps the sinuses/chest congestion.
Avatar f tn If not, you may have a viral or bacterial infection. You need to make an appointment with the doctor to get your throat and chest examined for any infection. The persistent cough may be due to the throat and lung infection or you may now have asthma. The headaches could be due to raised body temperature or from sinus congestion. If you do have a lot of congestion that can make give you tummy problems with feelings of nausea.
Avatar f tn My doctor only let me take robitusin cough and chest congestion but it depend on how far along you are, i was in my first trimester, you may be able to take something else if your in your third
Avatar f tn Saturday night, ok, Sunday morn, sharp stabbing pain in the ears down to the throat, congestion in the chest, stuffiness in both ears, sinus congestion, headache, the whole ball of wax. Started doing the nasal flush with saline, taken over the counter nasal de-congestants, and antihistamines. Still have the ringing in the ears/head, but the intensity has gone down somewhat, but still there. I also had a constant drainage in my throat. Still have drainage, not as persistant.
Avatar f tn So i knew most women get nasal congestion and also nose bleeding around the beggining of th 2nd trimestrr but im only 7w+4d and every since week5 ive been like this and i still is goin on?? Is it normal this early?? When will it stop??
Avatar f tn It is useful for treating respiratory problems including chest congestion, bronchitis, bronchial cough and sinusitis, as well as sore throat and laryngitis. Likewise, eucalyptus is a natural antibacterial agent. A small handful of whole leaves or a small amount of the essential oils in boiling water is effective for twice-daily steam inhalations. You can apply rubs as needed to the chest and throat or - cautiously - around nostrils to ease congestion.
Avatar f tn After a half hour I finally fell asleep, and when I woke up an hour later, the chest heaviness was gone but the headache was still there. Today I was feeling a chest congestion and burning all day, which this evening turned into a twisting feeling on the left side of my chest and neck. I took one nitro, got the same throbbing and pounding in my chest, neck, and head, but the tightness didn't begin to go away for another 20 minutes. At that point I took a xanax 0.
Avatar n tn If the secretions where too thick to break up before you took the antibiotic, then the medicine is working, it is breaking that congestion up, which will rattle more in your chest and you will cough more to get the serections out. Try taking OTC guaifenesin this will help with the thinning of secretions and make it easier to cough up the mucus that is in your lungs. Also drink plenty of water. If you dont feel better soon take to your md, also make sure your not running any fever.
