A member asked:
My husband's chest randomly tightens and his lungs won't expand for air. the only thing we can find to help relax it is beer. another non-rx option?

Chest tightness: This is not the right way of treating chest tightness, he may be having a respiratory, cardiac or gastric problem and beer only aggravtes the latter. He needs to see a doctor to determine what is the problem and treat it accordingly.

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)?
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.
