Chest Congestion

Chest congestion symptoms include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing.

Causes of Chest Congestion

  • Respiratory infections: such as colds, flu, or pneumonia
  • Allergies: to pollen, dust, pet dander, or mold
  • Asthma: causing inflammation and narrowing of the airways
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis
  • Environmental irritants: such as cigarette smoke, pollution, or strong odors
  • Acid reflux: causing stomach acid to back up into the throat and lungs
  • Heart failure: leading to fluid buildup in the lungs
