Does anyone experience this?

Especially when lying down, I 'produce' a creaking noise when exhaling, it sounds like a creaking, fluttering thin membrane.
I've had it for a while, but it's constant again.
My lungfunction was tested last year, and everything was normal, my chest xrays are clear (except for some scar tissue), I have no asthma, but am very sensitive to respiratory infections.

Hi M,

Sorry, I've been really tired, but . . .

it sounds like asthma.

Regardless, you need a lung xray.

I'm so very sorry that you are feeling so badly, Marie (and you too, Margaret!).

I was thinking it could be flem? I get that sometimes and it sounds like what you described. Otherwise, I would definitely bring it up to your doc!

It's different from phlegm... I need to make a list... My doc will be thrilled to see me coming with half a book... Lol

the first thing that came to my mind is croup - I know it's usually only in kids, but it can for sure occur in adults. And it does not have to come along with a cold, but can stand alone. Do you feel any tightness in your chest? do you have any other cold symptoms? this sure can be bothersome! so sorry =(

well, it could be a pleural rub, sticky secretion in airway, mediastinitis, pleurisy as mentioned, or a noisy joint articulation in the chostocondrals, sternum, upper torso or neck, etc etc...

Not requiring an x-ray necessarily, but careful chest eval by stethoscope, percussion, and palpation will inform the provider's call on whether imaging is needed or not.
