Try putting a heating pad on your chest while you are laying in bed. That might make the muscles relax a bit.\nAre you sure that it's your heart that is hurting and not your lungs? You say that you have insane allergies and cold right now. A cough in essence is a trauma to your lungs. Any type of heavy coughing causes everything to bump into one another in there. Think of it as a blender effect. If you are at all concerned I would talk to your allergist. They might be able to perscribe something to help with the coughing and it might ease your pain. Definatley seek help because there also might be a more serious issue in there. Granted I'm not a doctor but you don't want to dismiss anything when it comes to your health. \nHere's hoping for you to get well soon.

Your situation sounds like allergies.  If that is indeed what it is, you could probably get some relief with antihistamines.  See a doctor for a prescription.  If you want to try something yourself first, try Alavert over the counter.  The mucus is probably drainage from your sinuses.  That could also explain the coughing.

You may have a yeast infection, especially if it itches a lot. \nTreatment is easy and you can get the meds over the counter.\nAlthough it also could be absolutely nothing.

Did you change detergent etc...What's different, since you started noticing the problem?  Yeast infections and body lice both itch!!!!

Use ice to make the itching stop for like, 2 minutes while you put on some anti-itch cream (Cortisone cream, Benadryl cream, Bacitracin, etc). After that, try not to scratch it and apply the cream when you need to. Another really good thing is calamine lotion. That can make anything stop itching. They make clear calamine lotion too if you really don't want to see the white lotion on your skin when it dries. Apply that whenever you start to itch and/or after washing the skin. It works wonders!

Haha, whatever you said, I'm assuming you cough up a little bit of blood sometimes? It means something is wrong in your lungs...go to the doctor.

Alleric cough is usually caused by allergic rhinitis and post nasal drip which irritates the throat causing a dry cough. Take an antihistamine or prescription allergy med and a corticosteroid nasal spray.

JP is right.  Without knowing what is making you cough, it is difficult to prescribe something. Best to go to the doctor. \n\nHaving said that, the most common form of persistent cough is caused by post-nasal drip. Post-nasal drip is mucous that drips onto the back of the tongue, causing the throat tickling and sympathetic coughing.  Less common types of coughing come are bronchial, based on inflammation of the lungs. \n\nTo combat post-nasal drip, it is easiest to just take a ephedra-based antihistimine pill like pseudoephedrine.  If you insist on drinking something, then you can take ma-huang.  However, only take it in the morning because ma-huang contains ephedrine - which will juice you up like a caffeine. \n\nIMHO, best to just pop the pseudofed.  Harmless if it doesn't work. Cheap. Works quickly.

Dear bobby b,\n\nI agree with itchy, it could be a sign of poor blood circulation.\n\nIf you're diabetic - or you are in a risk to be - consult a doctor.\n\nConsider using gingko biloba. The extract from this tree is supposed to get the blood flow in our body's extremities: arms and hands, legs and feet, and head.

Ok, did this start rather suddenly, does it itch?  Have you had contact with something new?...soap, lotion, etc.  sounds like an allergic reaction.  If your mouth or throat tingle or throat feels tight...GO TO THE ER.  If this is mild and does not progress tonite, you could try taking a Benadryl 25mg. tablet...can buy over the counter at Walmart or pharmacy.  Is there a walk in clinic in your town?  If not, call your doc ( there will be someonr taking call for the holiday) and see if he/she wants you to go to the ER or if there is an office or clinic you can go to.   Some hospitals have an Urgent Care Center in connection with the ER.  This would be an appropriate place to go.  You must have had skin contact with something you are allergic to.  Hope you do well.

Yes, itching is a side effect. Kinda cute, people think you have some sort of tick.

It's the release of histamine during the immune response that causes you to itch.

It's not normal to feel pain when you cough unless you are coughing really hard, if you are not having troubles breathing that's good, but you might want to ask your doctor what could be causing this sudden pain when you cough.You could have emphysema or congestion in your lungs.

Hives are an allergic reaction. To stop it from happening, remove the allergen from your life. It could be anything from your boyfriends cologne to the soap you use to your neighbors new exotic tree. \n\nThe itch is from histamines. To stop the itch, you need to put an anti-hystamine in your system like Benadryl. It will reduce the swelling and slow the itch.\n\nIf at any time you feel your throat closing up, go to the emergency room instantly. Do not wait! \n\nIce and or cool baths will help sooth the hives. Drink lots of water and stay cool. Do not wear clothing that is binding around the hive area. Make sure you notify friends/family or at least someone that you are having an allergic reaction. They should check on you about an hour after taking the pills as these make you tired. If you fall asleep, your friend/family should make sure your breathing is steady and strong.\n\nAs a follow up, go to your doctor. Inform her/him that you had a reaction. If you don't know what caused it, you will need to see an allergist.
