I have had a cough and congestion for 3 days.  I woke up this morning at 4 am feeling like someone was sitting on my chest and finding it hard to breath.  There is an uneasy feeling in my chest; which I thought was indigestion, but now I am not sure that is it.  Any idea what may be going on?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Cough, congestion and Heaviness in chest are commonly seen with bronchitis and lung infection. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection.PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You are many need antibiotics and inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol).Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
