What Is The Treatment For Cough And Tightness In Chest?
I have had chest congestion for some time now and it comes and goes. In the morning, my chest feels tight but no pain and I cough. It clears up later in the morning. Then, at night, it happens again. Tightness and some coughing when trying to take a deep breath. I'm not coughing anything up except in rare occasions.

Seems that u may have allergic respiratory problem( like asthma), though more history & evaluation needed. U should 1st do a chest xray, pulmonary function testing & CBC( for eosinophil counts). Then according to the reports, diagnosis will be done & treatment accordingly..for example, if PFT showing reversible obstructive airway disease, u may have to start inhalers etc
