Brief Answer:
Please clarify and elaborate?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Chest congestion which you have referred to is a vague suggestion or question. It would be of value if you can give me the background of all this.
Do you fever, high blood pressure, or are you bringing out any sputum with cough?
Do you have wheezing?
Are you a known asthmatic?
Are you a smoker?
Do you have any heart disease?
What is your age?

Please answer these questions to help you out.

Thanks
Dr Sadruddin
