I'm feeling really concerned because I've had chest congestion for almost two months now. Whenever I take a deep breath, there's this tightness in my airway, and it almost always triggers a cough. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some phlegm too. I haven't tried any medication yet, just some natural remedies. This seems to happen once a year for the past few years. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should be doing?

I've been having a hard time breathing for about a week now. Every time I try to lie down, I start coughing a lot and feel like there's something stuck in my lungs, and my cough sounds whooshy. I noticed that if I sleep on an incline, I manage to get some rest. I'm a bit overweight, and my dad used to have sleep apnea, so I'm worried it might be something like that. Can you let me know what might be going on and if there's anything specific I should be doing or checking for?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of asthma or possibly sleep apnea. I recommend you try using an inhaler such as Ventolin (albuterol) to help with your breathing difficulties. You can take 2 puffs every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you may benefit from using a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, similar to what your father used. I suggest you consult with a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
