is there any other symptoms other than the feeling of water filling up in the chest & coughing for fluid in the lungs?

Fluid in the lung: As doctors, fluid in the lung means a pleural effusion which i seriously doubt you have. Your cough is probably a bronchitis. If you smoke you should not be surprised to feel this way. If you do not smoke and you are coughing up colored secretions, you will need an antibiotic if there is an infection. Are you wheezing? You may need a pulmonary medication to help you. See your family doctor.

Persistent dry cough for ~4 weeks. Quit smoking in april. I race in open water swims, cough started after first race. Could this be from the water? A little chest tightness, no other symptoms.

Hi, I only feel the tight chest at night, and the cough is also tight. I do occasionally get night chills and wake up feeling tired. My throat gets sore if I dont drink water for a long time. Should I get tested for COVID 19?
