I as replying to "But late last summer I got a cold and I still haven’t quit coughing. Productive coughs. I cough up mucus absolutely every day."... hence the chest etc.
I am the other way; maybe the same in that now; have big problem with slime (from the nose) and at night especially if that is at night DURING WINTER ... I am the same as you coughing and spitting it out ... bloody horrible.
Sorted out Summer at bedtime = small fan and container full of water plus one on the window - job done.
Now though (Winter here), even with a cheap mechanical dehumidifier .. no good; same problems.
Even with the crap, I can also breath properly... I shall buy a decent humidifier and see how that works PLUS let you know.
PS Unfortunately as we get older, these things do seem to happen !. Good luck.
Something to think about. As I mentioned to QH above, it could be sinus issues. It's an El Nino year, and we have had an extended fall-- aka "mold"-- that might never go away. I've been battling allergies since last June and it's been a hellish year. If you think it's mold at this point, don't use a humidifier, it might just make it worse. Also, an OTC med for mucus might help as well.
I can’t feel anything. I seem to have enough air to function normally.
