Gurgling chest?

2 Replies

Hi

I have recently had flu, about 3 weeks ago, and seem to have been left with a gurgling feeling in my lungs when i breathe in. Its not painful although when i am in bed and lying flat i can feel the build up of mucus, which is uncomfortable and i feel the need to cough.

I have a cough, not painful but seems to be related to the build up of mucus on my chest.

I dont have any fever or chills now and my energy levels feel fine although my peak flow is around 80%.

I have never had flu so not sure if this is normal post flu symptoms and i will recover in time or should i visit my GP to get checked out.

Thanks

Pinky

Hi Pinky

Would be best to make an appointment with your GP to get checked out.Try putting something under your bed to raise your head up a little it might help you sleep.

Honey and lemon is good and soothing if your coughing.

lots of love Glynis xxx

I always did get this when had chesty colds.

Pre-asthma, I never bothered to do anything about it. Went away by itself eventually.

Now though, I'd go get it checked out soon as.

Best wishes pinky,
