What Causes Chronic Cough And Chest Congestion?
I have a horrible cough that produces very little, if at all. No fever or body aches, but occasional chills/shakes. Sleeping is very difficult. As soon as I lay down I can feel my chest start to percolate (no other term comes to mind) with congestion. It actually makes a high-pitched wheezing noise. No amount of hard coughing relieves this. I had bronchitis as a child, and I m prone to allergies - airborne. I am a 61 year old male.
