A member asked:
Whenever im around cigarette smokers , my throat gets tight and i start coughing , my chest feels right for a while after that. does this sound like an allergic reaction?

Possibly : Symptoms you describe could be allergic reaction or just body’s normal reaction to toxins in smoke from someone not used to it. The tightness in throat and chest is concerning and could be dangerous for you. Stay away from smokers if at all possible or you may have to be evaluated by pulmonary specialist to see if you need some type of protective treatment like inhaler. Act in your best interest.

Is it normal, when you try to expel all the air from your lungs, to hear a wheezing/bubbling sound in your throat (only when almost all the air is gone and your throat and chest are tight)?
