What Causes Voice Change And Chest Pain After Crying?

I m a 55 year old woman, 6 ft tall, 228 lbs. I hate crying and try to resist it but I tear up at the stupidest things. If I get really upset and cry hard, even for only a few minutes, I lose my voice & get terrible chest congestion that lasts for a week or more and I am coughing up green stuff. I don t feel sick at all, but the congestion makes me feel I can barely breathe sometimes. Why does this happen?
