Lyssin (Hydrophobinum) - Chest symptoms - H.C. Allen

CHEST

Pulse

Chest as if beaten, in evening

He feels the pulse's beat through body; from time to time there is a surging through throat into head, like a slow wave

Respiration

The breath is hot sulphurous

Hot breath streams from nostrils, Satyriasis in a stallion

On inspiring a cooling sensation; stinging on left side

Can scarcely speak from weakness

Weakness of chest; tired from talking or reading

When breathing, stitches in right side of abdomen

Breathing accelerated or rattling in last stage

Asthmatic sensation, air going through larynx makes a kind of wheezing

Sighing and groaning respiration, may be occasioned by violent expiration

Frequent sighing and sobbing

A general feeling of discomfort in chest forces him to deep breathing or to emit sighs, which alleviate

Sighing with pain in heart

Now and then he has to take a deep breath, with coldish feeling far back and deep in throat, followed by great relief

At 9 A M suffocating feeling in chest, had to sigh several times, lasting till 1030 P M, when he fell asleep

Breathing laborious and difficult, quickly repeated, and attended with a constant and peculiar kind of hawking, in order to expel breath, which has been taken for an imitation of bark of a dog

Dyspnoea with flatulency, cough and rattling in chest; with sighing, groaning respiration; from cardiac pain; worse lying down

Constriction about breast and difficulty in breathing become so extreme, that on a blast of air blowing on them they are seized with greatest distress, cover their months, seem ready to expire, as if struggling for breath

On attempting, at request, to drink a little water; a violent spasm of muscles of neck and throat came on, preceded by a deep sigh or gasp, as if she might just have plunged into cold water

Difficult breathing and spasmodic sensation in trachea

Suffocative spasm in throat

Convulsive breathing and spasm in muscles of throat, either come together or breathing precedes throat spasms

The convulsive breathings during paroxysms are very similar to those produced by a sudden cold water bath, and are always combined with spasms in throat muscles

Oppression in breathing before a severe suffocative attack occurs, induced by spasmodic constrictions of respiratory muscles, combined with spasmodic, alarming constriction of pharynx

Barathing during paroxysm gasping, irregular and usually quite rapid, often with decided dyspnoea

Outer chest

The clavicles feel as if they would slip from their sockets; has to place arms akimbo

Quivering about sternum

Spasmodic tearing under left ribs; at same time it runs to anus, where it causes a constriction; also at same time a tearing between skin and flesh down thigh to knee

Pressure on sternum between mammae; between last ribs on right side

Stinging in left breast (between mamma and last ribs)

Soreness across chest, both breasts swollen; when waking in morning can hardly get up; three mornings in succession
