Can post nasal drip cause sore throat and tight chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Especially after night of sleep constant drip can cause irritation of throat and if mucous goes into airways can definitely cause lung irritation. May have to sleep with head elevated and consider treatment to dry up drip as well as make sure room you sleep in has adequate humidity.
