Hi.Every night I have clear bubbly yuk that I have to spit out. If I don t spit it out I have to cough and then it comes up. I am up all night doing this. I just lay down and take a towel to bed with me and spit it our alnight. What can I do. I take singular and take prilosec. Doesn t help.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should definitely rule out congestive heart failure (CHF) first. Your symptoms (frothy sputum, cough, chest up position) especially at night are characteristic feature of CHF.CHF causes pulmonary edema and this causes all the symptoms. So better to consult cardiologist and get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). You may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
