Avatar f tn I have been coughing up black mucus for about 1 year or so now. I smoke cigarettes and I have had a puncutered lung about 20 years ago. Heart disease, and chronic bronchitis are on my mothers side of the family. and my mother has emphezema. I breath fine and feel fine. If I stop smoking will this clear up?
Avatar f tn I also have frequent coughing with mucus from my throat and have to blow my nose a lot after words. My doc says it's alergies but it all started about the time i was diagnosed with thyroid disease. I know this doesn't help but you are not alone.

Avatar m tn t know what started it, what changed to start it., or why it happens. I am tired of coughing all the time and am sure the people around me are tired of hearing it. I went to a doctor who tested me or allergies and said I am allergic to nothing. She did a chest xray which came back clear as well. I have constant sinus drainage and my cough usually gets me gasping for breath when I laugh...odd I know. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Avatar m tn I had a dry and itching throat, so it makes me coughing for about 3 weeks, what should I do?
Avatar n tn for about 2months now I have had a cough, lots of mucus, wheezing, when I cough now i pee on myself which is embarrasing.
Avatar m tn I need to explain I also suffer with heart conditions treated with open heart surgery, that include coronary arterial disease, CABG, and Aortic valve replacement with atrial flutter. My Lung condition is Pulmonary fibrosis (fibrotic NSIP/atypical UIP pattern). Just so that those that know will be able to identify the actual medical problems I am faced with. I have no stamina, get breathless at the thought of any activity. Walking ten paces creates stress and a need to gasp for air.
Avatar f tn First, Heart Disease- With Heart Disease, the weak heart cannot pump as well...Fluid builds into the lungs causing the cough..The cough is usually MOIST like they're choking on congestion...Actually, they are...The cough is worse during the night & mornings. Also, during periods of running, playing & excitement....Fluid will show in the lungs on an xray.....Heart is usually enlarged......Fairly easy to rule out & Heart medications work well for treatment.......
Avatar m tn I am 68 yrs old with the usual middle age problems. Controlled diabetes, controlled high blood pressure, acid reflux and heart disease. I went to the doctor with this problem 2 years ago. He order a stress test which I failed. 4 stents later I was pronounced cured. Unfortunately, this symptom persists. As I near orgasm it feels as though I am getting fluid in my lungs and begin coughing up very thin clear mucus. This can continue for up to 1/2 hr.
Avatar m tn I am a 38 year-old male with Lyme disease, originally diagnosed and treated back in 1997, with all kinds of intermittent symptoms that have come and gone since. By my early 30s, doctors thought I probably had multiple sclerosis or possibly even ALS. Long story short, I finally was re-diagnosed with Lyme about 18 months ago, treated and I am much better but not well. Last night when I got home from work, I removed my socks and noticed pronounced indentations on my lower legs.
Avatar f tn I've had issues with foul-smelling gas and diarrhea for a few years. I attributed it to me being lactose intolerant (I was never tested) and try to avoid dairy. This seems to help most of the time, but although it has reduced occurrences, it has not gone away completely. The last few months I have been experiencing bouts of nausea, burning sensations in my lower abdomen, heart burn, and extreme fatigue. I have diarrhea everyday.
Avatar n tn Coughing from heart disease and especially coughing at night is a symptom of Congestive Heart Failure. Congestive Heart Failure can give a dry cough or produce white or clear mucus. Has he been retaining any water around his abdomen? If he is, it would be suspicious for left side congestive heart failure which would be more serious than right side congestive heart failure.
Avatar n tn Excess mucus causes coughing. You can get a mucolytic (mucus thinner) called guaifenesin over-the-counter. Mucinex contains gauifenesin but I would get the plain guaifenesin. Vitamin B5 also thins mucus. He would have to take 500 mg a day. No side effects. Then there are anti-inflammatories, among them Vitamin C. Of course, stopping smoking would help the most, but you have had no success in that area. Maybe once he gets more comfortable at reducing the coughing he will think about quitting.
Avatar n tn Barbara533 Have you tried an antihistamine? rushtyyyyy green and yellow flem should not be coming up from allergy unless it is stomach acid. Usually allergy is clear mucus. I'm not a doctor but I wonder if it is a bacteria infection. Sorry I don't know the correct answer. Maybe the doctors are correct too. I just personally haven't heard of colored mucus from allergy. Allergy can cause mucus that can lead to bacteria infection too. See another doctor.
Avatar n tn My mother had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. I am so very sorry to say that the choking, gagging and spitting out thick white mucus is a part of this terrible lung disease. I helped to care for my mother during her illness. The choking, gagging and spitting up thick white mucus became a daily thing for her. Weather change does greatly effect lung diseases it seems. I myself have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. And weather changes greatly bother me.
Avatar m tn Voluminous amounts of clear mucus with his now very bad cough. He would cough, then swallow the mucus until he would regurgitate it in mass. It was terrible and I considered putting him down. He was drowning in mucus. Again out of desperation, I put him back on Prednisone, 5mg twice a day and his cough returned to a dry hacking, with nearly every breath, but brief periods of calm. He's exhausted from coughing though.

369861 tn?1306275686 I'm a newbie here on the heart disease site and not very sure what is going on. This all started with my getting sick and going to the ER thinking that I am having a heart attack. It turned out that my potassium was very low and my glucose level was low. Prior to this ER episode, my potassium level was hovering around 3.3 for about 4 months. At the ER it was 2.6! I had been on HCT 25 mgand Diovan Hct 320/25 mg for about 2-3 years. My primary doctor took me off the HCT.
785188 tn?1279928405 About a month ago, her face swelled up and I figured it was just a bad tooth - which it was and the tooth had to be pulled. They did another set up xrays and said that her heart was very enlarged and her disease has progressed. They said they would try to do the cleaning and pull the tooth but it was risky putting her under and if anything happened, they would wake her up.
215342 tn?1287838418 1) 2-3 days of runny eyes, sneezing (not coughing!), runny nose... OK, so if you were in contact with someone who have whooping cough and you get these symptoms you dont even have to test for whooping cough, you have it, start treatment.... TEST: ONLY way to test for whooping cough is a lab test from some nasal mucus (take it from your nose with an earbud)..... 2) Coughing start together with VERY VERY VERY sticky THICK mucus...
328381 tn?1269364102 If there is right side heart failure, that can cause edema of the lower extremities and left side heart failure can contibute as well. You should consult with your doctor to rule out any serious condition.
Avatar n tn At night I have a soreness in the top of my chest that keeps me awake - I know worry does not help in this situation -- went to the doctor on Thurs (10/21) and he said asthma flare up, mucus, --- etc.
