Chest tightness, cough and chills

Different disease conditions in the human body may cause the physiological phenomenon of chest tightness. Therefore, different people have different understandings of the causes of chest tightness and have different symptoms. Some people find that when they feel chest tightness, they not only cough, but also feel chills from time to time. So what is the reason for symptoms such as coughing and chills when the chest feels tightness?

1. What causes cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and fear of cold?

This situation may be caused by lung infection, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc., so it is recommended to go to the respiratory department of a regular hospital for a chest X-ray and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. Drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid smoking and drinking, avoid catching cold and getting angry, pay attention to rest, and ensure adequate sleep.

2. What are the symptoms of lung infection?

1. Shortness of breath or wheezing

If you have a lung infection in your life, you will experience symptoms of wheezing and shortness of breath after becoming ill. This is because lung infection can easily cause patients to suffer from wheezing bronchospasm, which can easily lead to symptoms of wheezing and shortness of breath. If the disease recurs and the infection continues to worsen, it will cause obstructive pulmonary emphysema and cause the patient to experience varying degrees of shortness of breath. In severe cases, the patient may be unable to take care of himself.

2. Coughing up phlegm

Patients with lung infections may develop sputum coughing after becoming ill. This is because some patients will continue to accumulate sputum in the lumen after sleeping at night, so after getting up or changing body position, it is easy to stimulate sputum discharge and cause symptoms of coughing up sputum. It should be noted that the sputum coughed up by patients after a lung infection is usually white mucosal or serous foam, and patients occasionally have symptoms of coughing up blood in sputum.

3. Cough

The occurrence of lung infection can cause congestion and edema of the patient's bronchial mucosa, so secretions will continue to accumulate in the bronchial cavity. If this continues for a long time, the patient will experience symptoms of persistent coughing, and the severity of the cough depends on the condition.
