chest congestion
Blocked bronchial passages
Chest congestion is the sensation of tightness or heaviness in the chest caused by mucus buildup in the airways or lungs.
It typically accompanies respiratory infections, colds, or allergies: I've had chest congestion for three days now.
The term distinguishes lower respiratory symptoms from nasal or sinus congestion higher up.
