Avatar n tn I have constant shortness of breath at rest. I do go through some periods it is not quite so bad. I have phlegm, some days worse then others. I have a lot of headaches. I feel I have spasms in my throat due to the phlegm. I have had a lot of gastric isues and high tryglycerides. I was wondering if somehow these things could all be connected. Before this started I was living a normal life. I now walk on eggshells on how I will feel daily. This is a terrible way to live.
Avatar n tn i recently lived in a home with mold, i have moved out and my shortness of breath has all but gone away, sometimes i get these 10-20 second periods where i feel like i cant breath. i breath in slowly and it goes away just wondering if this is just the lingering effects of the mold. Also ive been coughing up a lot of phlegm since i moved out especially at night is this too a lingering side effect.
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar m tn When the cold produces phlegm, it can be harder for the lungs to process and expel, resulting in shortness of breath and tightness. There aren’t many herbal supplements that are designed for lungs, but taking an amino acid called N-acetylcysteine provides good lung support and detoxification. Also he can at least start taking an immune boosting supplement daily until he starts to feel better. Have him drink plenty of hot fluids – reduced sodium broth, tea, and hot water with lemon and honey.
Avatar n tn Chronic obstructive lung disease of this degree, be it asthma or COPD (suggested by the borderline diffusing capacity (DLCO) seldom would account for shortness of breath, especially at rest and this suggests to me that something else may be causing your shortness of breath. The production of “orange or pink-tinged phlegm is definitely abnormal but your lungs may not be the source of this phlegm.

Avatar n tn A friend of mine (who refuses to go to a doctor, no matter how much I nag them) is worried about their symptoms of constant runny nose, wheezing in throat but not in chest, breathlessness, and coughing up white phlegm. My friend IS a smoker, and is going through a lot of stress currently.
Avatar f tn It is quite common to have throat irritation and coughing in the morning because of reflux (in fact, it is a known symptom of reflux). Do you have difficulty breathing? Shortness of breath? Phlegm or coughing other than upon waking or while eating?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn Hello, The most common silent reflux symptoms are hoarseness of voice, sinusitis, chronic cough, throat-clearing, post-nasal drip, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, shortness of breath etc. Other causes of blood in phlegm are bronchitis, throat infections, bronchiectasis etc.It is suggested to see an ENT specialist and get examined. You may need tests like complete blood counts, ESR,endoscopy and X-ray chest. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Keep me posted on how you are doing.
1100598 tn?1413127426 The cough brings up a foaming white phlegm, and sometimes causes heart palpitations. Ever since then, I have had chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells, weakness, back pain, a worseneing cough, low grade fever, chills, rash on my belly or chest, and nausea. The swollen lymph nodes have also returned. My doctor says I have bronchitis/walking pneumonia and put me on doxycycline on tuesday, but I am not feeling any better. I only have one day of antibiotics left.
Avatar n tn I cough constantly with the symptoms becomming more violent and severe at night... I have that feeling of some one on my chest... (shortness of breath and pressure) I dont know what it is but if you or any one has any comments I am listening! I have an appointment with mydr tomarrow but you know, it is hard to get any dr to listen and take you seriously! Hope you find out the cause of your condition, Ill be praying for you!
Avatar f tn Bronchitis may be indicated by a productive cough (produces phlegm), shortness of breath (dyspnea) and wheezing. Occasionally chest pains, fever, and fatigue or malaise may also occur. Mucus is often green or yellowish green and also may be orange or pink, depending on the pathogen causing the inflammation. Chronic bronchitis is caused most often by exposure to airborne pollutants such as cigarette smoke, excessive dust in the air, or chemicals.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with pneumonia 4 days ago when I went in for pain in my heart area and shortness in breath.. I'm on antibiotics, still can't cough anything out but today I started feeling pain in my lower back area where kidneys are. I urinate every 10, 15 minutes and the color in clear.. My mouth is dry all the time which I think is a side effect from the antibiotics. Could have the pneumonia caused issues in my kidneys or bladder???
Avatar m tn I have chronic coughing up wads of green phlegm dozens of times a day, wake up with swollen sinus, almost black out with coughing fits, had this for 10+ years, probably no cough when sleeping, cough with shortness of breath, have not taken a deep breath in years with out cough and feels as if I just breathed in vinegar vapors, Sometimes it feels like upper lung soreness, most of the time it feels like throat, other times sinus.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar n tn Several years later I noticed that I was constantly bringing up phlegm, having to clear my throat all the time - this was not associated with shortness of breath, wheezing or coughing, but again I was told it was from the asthma. Two years ago the symptoms became much worse - cough, shortness of breath, inability to bring up phlegm, "vibration" noises in the chest - and a CT scan showed bronchiectasis. My sense is that it has gotten worse in the past few months.
Avatar n tn I have had chronic bronchitis for years coughing up completely black, thick, large amounts of phlegm ( I know, gross!!) My doctor said that just because the xray is normal doesn't mean that I don't have emphysema just that I don't have any obvious mechanical abnormality. Since quitting smoking the phlegm production has subsided...no more cough, just a lot of throat clearing. My chest hurts every day, all day. It feels like I just smoked a pack of cigarettes.
Avatar f tn I know I'm probably being paranoid about this, but it worries me a little. Generally because when I get a respiratory illness of any kind, it lingers forever and is a living nightmare. Anyways. For background info, I do have asthma and am prone to sinus infections. For the past couple of days, my throat has been sore. I haven't really had to cough, but I have had to clear my throat sometimes. It also feels like I have to...it's not coughing it up, but get up somehow phlegm.
Avatar n tn The symptoms of lung cancer are chest infection that does not get better, shortness of breath, coughing up blood-stained phlegm (sputum), chest discomfort, loss of appetite and loss of weight. Do you have a family history of any kind of cancer? Are you sure it is a lymph node swelling? It can be a salivary gland swelling. Chest pain with shortness of breath and enlarged lymph nodes are found in a variety of conditions like SLE, lupus, tuberculosis and rib fracture.
Avatar m tn Examples of symptoms to watch for are fever, coughing up colored phlegm, pain in your chest when you cough, shortness of breath, or any symptoms lasting more than 10 days or so. Smokers are more likely to get bacterial chest infections, so if you are, be especially aware of these symptoms.
Avatar n tn I find it weird because with my asthma I usually get shortness of breath and its usually constant all day. Do you think my adthma is coming back to normal or do you think this isn't related to my asthma?
Avatar n tn I had an angioplasty 2 years back. For last 2 months, I get cough without phlegm everytime. Coughing starts anytime and even during sleep. Now days I am unable to eat much as I feel full very quickly and walking is initially tiring though after a while this improves. I take tablets; Low plate plus 75mg, xplanded 20mg, Spiromide 40mg, Advant 16mg, Dilatant 25mg. Also I have shortness of breath everytime I think seriously about something. Is it ordinary asthma or cardiac asthma?
