coughing phlegm breath

Also ive been coughing up a lot of phlegm since i moved out especially at night is this too a lingering side effect.

Hello everyone, I been having a problem,every morning I wake up and I cant breath until I take my puffer which loosens up phlegm deep inside me and I cough it up. The weird part about it is the phlegm is like strands of crystal clear gel or balls. Then as I start to get my breathing back it's almost turns to a thin liquid I cough up .After about an hour I can breath fine again and I may only take my puffer once again the whole day. Any ideas?

What do you mean you have a lot of phlegm? Are you coughing up a lot of phlegm? Then that is related to chronic bronchitis, especially that you have a long smoking history. Spasms in the throat? Maybe you have VCD (vocal chord dysfunction), look it up and see what you think of the symptoms. Mucous in the throat can be due to GERD or Post nasal drip. Even Gerd can give breathing issues. For some their only symptom is a dry cough. What other symptoms do you have outside of shortness of breath?

The Dr just diagnosed my 6 yr old son with RAD. He has had a bad cough,coughing up blood, and coughing so hard that he vomits. Is this commin with RAD, and what can I do in my house to make this better?

I experience several bouts of heavy coughing that can last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes while coughing up mostly clear phlegm with some of it a sea green color and at other times tinged pink - though this is rare. One out of ten coughing fits ends with me vomiting .... I guess it would be best described as a clear foamy form of phlegm. I do experience hot and cold flashes, sometimes it helps my breathing to step outside and sometimes it makes it worse.

It feels like I can breathe out 80% and then after that I have to push really hard to breath out more (it feels like REALLY dense phlegm) , so I just breath out only 80% which is enough for most day to day activities. Sometimes I will try to cough out the phlegm and it will get coughed up about halfway so I have to swallow it. When I do try to cough it up it gets A LOT worse and a tiny little itch in the back of my throat makes me want to keep on coughing.

I fractured a rib from coughing so much a year ago which still hurts. I'm extremely exhausted and feel like I'm forcing myself to breath since my body doesn't want to and my tongue feels like a bite it but I don't and it swells at sometimes at night and I'm constantly coughing and I feel like I'm drowning in mucus or phlegm. Every other week I become so sick for a day or 2 then it goes away. I'm just tired of feeling like this me having no answers.

First a little esp after exercise and then more and more. Coughing would continue until I expelled phlegm which was light color. At night coughing could be initiated by changing sleep positions and more phlegm. Wheezing common but constant cough is the worse. Continue to feel that I have to expel. Allergist checked for allergies found none, respirologist scoped lungs and were ok, biopsy ok also. Rescue inhalers and steroidal inhalers(Symbicort,Zenhale, Nasonex) did not show improvement.

I have asthma. About 15 years ago I had a very bad reaction to using oil-based polyeurethane. My asthma flared up very badly but I recovered from it after taking steroids. Just 2 months ago, I was working with an oil based stain. I thought I was being careful by working with it outside. The next day, my breathing was short and labored. I saw a pulmonologist. She did a series of breathing tests, listened to my lungs and took an X-Ray. She indicated that everything seems fine.

relief temporarily by coughing, eating and drinking, as well as relief when i just jogged....so i cough every now and then, during morning, it feels like nothing, but as the day goes, specially afternoon, it getting worst, i have also this feeling that i have phlegm but apparently none, i just spit and all i can see is just white saliva, but sometimes with brownie phlegm and thinking it is from smoking, i stop smoking when i had this choKING feelings...

I quit smoking 10 days ago and eversince i have been coughing up pale yellow phlegm with little brown specs in the morning. (only in the morning about a quorter size). it does not look like blood.its tiny little brown specs. i went to a pulmonologist, he have me a breathing test and i did great. I am not coughing and i do not have any shortness of breath. the doctor did not seam to have an answer for the phlegm... he told me to use a nasal spray...and mucinex...

All pet scans are clear and x-rays clear still I have a cough that sometimes is that of a heavy smoker. Coughing brings up clear mucus. Other than this cough I feel great. Any suggestions on how to take care of the cough?

I had bronchitis in my first trimester. I could hardly sleep because of endless coughing. I kept coughing up brown phlegm and my chest hurt. The doctor gave me some antibiotics for it. I refused the xray.

im not coughing or none of that. i feel fine. its just the shortness of breath and my nose a little stuffy. but thats pretty much it. does that mean its taking a little longer for my airwaves to heal? is it normal? im just wondering. i thinking about going to the hospital soon to get a check up.

You probably have or had sinusitis. The infected mucus drains into the throat from your sinuses and makes you cough. Dark green and brown phlegm usually indicates infection, light green means it's getting better.

If you are coughing up yellow phlegm you have developed a drug resistant infection and need to go back to your physician immediately.

It seems to come in waves of coughing spells and then no coughs. I have been coughing up phlegm that is mostly white/clear with small amounts of a yellowish color and small brown flecks. When I lay down I can hear myself breathing/wheezing and makes it impossible to sleep, not to mention coughing fits making my partner unable to sleep. I have been taking antihistamines before bed and it seems to help calm my cough.

I have been having a deep cough with wheezing and greenish thick phlegm for 6 months now. The phelgm is coming from my lungs and is often like strings. When I breath it makes a whistling and rattling sound. I initially had a bad cold and then the cough just never went away. I have taken 3 courses of AB's, had a normal chest x ray in Jan and the oxygen levels are normal. I had a basic breathing test done and that was normal.

t breath, weezes and makes a gurggle noise. Sometimes coughing up phlegm that is clearish white. She has had oral infections from absessed teeth but the doc have her meds last month. She has complained about shortness of breath and chest tightening also. I'm very confused!

I feel that your symptoms are suggestive of asbestosis.It a chronic lung disease that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and permanent lung damage. Whether you will be having any carcinoma associated with asbestos depends on the dose,duration, size, shape, and chemical makeup of asbestos fibers and your health and lung condition(whether a prior lung pathology was present).

Okay so it started almost half a week ago I'd say.. I wasn't feeling sick at all, but for some reason I just started coughing up a lot of phlegm.. clearish to yellow colored. I don't smoke cigarettes, only on the occassional weekend. I do smoke pot. Anyways I thought the phelgm coughing up mighta been caused by some resin I was smoking, but they said that was black phlegm, not clearish yellow... So a few days pass of coughing up phlegm, and now I'm sitting here.. irritated...

On 09th June i quit smoking. Initially for 2-3 weeks there was coughing with phlegm coming out. Now i am in 8th week after quit smoking. Now days i have throat pain while swallow and rarely phlegm coming out (no cough). Along with that slight cold (but not continuous). There is slight body pain from on yesterday. Before i used to breath through mouth. But from on last couple of weeks i trying to practice to breath through nose. Yesterday i found some while particle on palatine tonsil.

I have been coughing up phlegm daily for around 7 years. I've tried antibiotics several times without any success. I've had x-rays and mri scans but nothing showed up. Around 18 months ago my voice started to change. I was then prescribed omeprazole 20 mg capsules which make a slight difference and my voice returned to normal. But I still have to tap my chest and often have to get someone to hit my back to dislodge the phlegm which is milky white/ beige globules and quite a lot of it.

Your husband needs to go back to the doctor. The doctor can send a phlegm sample for analysis to find out if there is a bacterial or viral infection. He should also send him for a chest xray and do a lung function test. His bronchitis may be due to a viral or bacterial infection. Antibiotics will not help if it is a viral infection. Asthma can cause persistent coughing and a lung function test would be able to confirm whether he now has asthma.

About 10 days since symptoms first began, I am having serious coughing fits. Taking a deep breath causes significant coughing. I also have a fever for the past 4 days which ranges from 100-103. I've had night sweats, and swollen lymph nodes in neck. By and far, the cough is the predominant symptom however. It ranges from productive to dry, but it's all day/night long.
