A member asked:

How to stop chesty coughs halfway through deep sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop smoking: I bet if you didn't smoke, a young man like you wouldn't have a nightly chest cough. Stop smoking and lungs will clear. In the meantime try otc products to help with cough during sleep.

I feel short of breath often, and I have a deep cough. I often dont cough when I should, but when I cough it sounds like a deep cough. Could this be fluid in my lungs? Im able to sleep alright without feeling out of breath/waking up?

Acute bronchitis about 3 weeks ago. Decreased lung sounds 1.5 weeks ago & given inhaler. Last night I had a random cough attack that wouldn't stop w/o the inhaler and tight chest this morning. Lung sensitivity or something else? H2O & sleep helps.
