(4,483 posts)34. Chest congestion?
I found that my normal tv watching posture (in a recliner) was very bad for clearing chest congestion. The position causes phlegm to pool low and to the back of lungs, where it tends to stay put. I lay on my side on the couch for tv and found it helped my breathing a lot. Lying down (not on my back!) also helped clear my sinuses.

I had the second shot on January 18th and had to take the rest of the week off work.

I never take naps, so with this I'd just randomly fall asleep in the middle of whatever I was doing
