chest tightness mucus

My Lung Doctor recommend a nebulizer with acetylcysteine medication. Immediately, I felt a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath after taking. I googled acetylcysteine and one of the side effects was shortness of breath and tightness of chest. I have an appointment to see my doctor in 2 weeks (retired vet....appointments these days are hard to get) meanwhile I'm wondering if there are others who have experienced this the drug acetylcysteine with the same side effects.

Things seems to have slightly improved for a small amount of time but I could never shake off this tightness of chest/tightness on full breathing. One concern was I had thick, yellow-dark yellow mucus for a few days straight at work(I work as a stocker overnight/around dust/etc.) and my temperature was fine. As well as this discomfort in my chest which is located about dead square middle of my breast cavity, sometimes in the ribcage/sternum with sensitivity touching below the sternum.

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?

t really seem to be helping with my symptoms which are chest tightness and I feel like I have mucus stuck in my chest and when I try to cough, all that comes up is air...no mucus. This has been going on since November 2007. It is a very dry cough and hardly produces any mucus. Sometimes I can get a little bit of mucus uo when I clear my throat - I notice I am constantly trying to clear my throat.

I have had this tickling in my chest for about 2 days now, with little to no cough. I have also had tightness in my chest for the last couple of days, but that's slightly normal for me because I have reactive airway disorder. Could this just be allergy related ? I have no productive cough, but feel like this may be mucus. Any advice or info would be appreciated, thanks!

I have had chest tightness, coughing, trouble breathing, fatigue, dizziness and excess mucus. Over the weekend I had very bad chest tightness and could barely breathe. Trip to urgent care had me on my 3rd round of antibiotics and a 6 day tapered medrol pack. I am on day 3 of the medrol pack and yesterday was actually the only day I felt great - breathing normally, more energy than usual.

Hello, So I went to the doctor cause I thought I was getting pneumonia and the Doc had me do a PFT (which was low at 70 percent) and a blood O2 test (94 percent) and said that I had bronchitis and put me on some prednisone and a z-pack. After I finshed my meds I still felt the same. So I set up another appointment and right before I went in I started to feel better but my tests only showed I improved ten percent.

ve been experiencing symptoms of lots of mucus in throat, always clearing throat, throat dry hard to swallow, clicking sound when lying down (dont have to be swallowing for it to click) and Chest tightness. Not sick but one nostril is stuffy. Any clues on what these might be besides asthma?

Immediatly began blowing up, dry mouth, tightness in chest....This is making working almost impossible for me and truly stressing me out. Prior to Dec.15th, I was healthy, perfect weight & always going to the gym or riding my bike. What is wrong with me? Beginning to think this will never go away.

Few months ago, I started experiencing breathlessness and tightness in chest alongwith coughing. My doctor said it was allergy and prescribed some medicines for lowering eosinophil count. It did not work. I have taken a month long homeopathy medication, which has not worked either. Only thing that works is Montair LC (montelukast) once in 24 hours. It stops my cough, breathlessness. I am not able to stop this medication and have been taking this for almost 3 months now.

m asking this because I have GERD without these symptoms, But I have chest pain and tightness behind breastbone, sometimes shortness of breath, because of hiatal hernia and I'm actually scared I might also have Asthma. I've been like this for 3 years now. Did spirometry almost 2 yearts ago but nothing abnormal.

Do you have any symptoms like tightness or rattling in the chest, any breathing problems? This, together with what you have coughed up would indicate a problem with the lungs and you should see a doctor urgently. I presume that you have not eaten anything that was dark in colour that could have discoloured the mucus. If you have not eaten anything that could make your mucus a dark colour (coffee, chocolate), it would be wise to get seen to by the doctor.

After eating certain foods I get quite a bit of mucus build-up in my lungs and find myself coughing a lot after meals. I'm 17 years old and don't think this is due to acid reflux as I don't have any other symptoms and am quite young. I notice it immediately after I finish eating (not sure if it actually starts during eating as I'm not really focused on how my chest feels while eating). Does anyone have any idea of what this may be?

What began when you were married to the abusive husband? The anxiety, the chest pains, or both? Anxiety often causes chest pains and tightness, so it's very possible your anxiety has returned, which it has a nasty habit of doing if we haven't dealt with the root cause of it. An abusive marriage would definitely qualify as a root cause. While I don't think it's your heart, I strongly suggest a visit to your doctor and a long chat about your past.

- 3 months ago caught a cold on holiday, which was a pretty bad cold and stuck around for ages - Sinus pain in forehead on flight home - Bad cough for 4 weeks after - Cough gone but get tightness in chest, but only seems to be in morning after I walk to work (10 mins) - White mucus from back of nose going down my throat. Post nasal drip? - Swelling at back of mouth on one side. Think it is saliva gland. Applying pressure sometimes drains into mouth, foul taste - pus?

It helps with the random shortness of breath and chest tightness during exercise, but it has done nothing for the cough and mucus. My mom told me ever since I was a baby I've had constant cold and sinus infections. As I got older I would have chronic respiratory infections that would lead bronchitis, pharyngitis, etc. I'm only 21, I don't smoke, and I stay active (when I am able to breath).

t mention any other symptoms, like coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing or chest tightness? GERD sometimes can cause problems where the stomach contents aspirate high enough up the esophagus to reach the voice chords or into your lungs. When it hits the sensitive tissue of the vocal chords it does damage and the response is to produce mucous.

If you have normal oxygen level and still experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath what could this be..oxygen level at 98..

I totally understand. Are you being treated for the panic disorder? If you aren't, I would strongly recommend getting into some therapy (CBT) to find the root cause of your panic. Once you've identified that, your therapist can give you a great deal of knowledge to understand why you suffer from it and tools to help you overcome it. Your therapist can teach you various breathing exercises to help when you get that suffocating feeling. They work.

t eat much and not sleeping well, reason why was that i was worried about pain that was in my testicle but found out that is was a epidyimal cyst and that it was nothing to worry about. Now i am back to my routine and seem to be having some chest tightness. I am wondering if it was from all the stress i was putting myself under or is it probably from my ablation and it is just healing? Idk I go see the doctor who performed my ablation on friday.

I am a 29 year old who has been having chest tightness for about 3 days with a headache that comes and goes. I went to an urgent care for them to tell me nothing except that my vital signs are healthy, take no xrays, take no blood, etc. They prescribed me an inhaler thinking that it was an allegarine asthma. IT hasn't helped so far. When I work out, it doesn't bother me anymore. I am not short of breath; however, to take a deep breath takes a little more effort.
