Hi neo, I don't think so they feel more like a long pipe or veins quite soft and a tad stingy , they seem a bit too narrow for a rupture but I'm not sure, thanks anyway xxx carol

Hi Just a point that may help some - Carbocisteine didn't work for me in the early days, possibly because I was so plugged with muckus. But nearly two years later, and much clearer, I still had some left. When I got a cold and made more mucous than usual I tried them again.. and were great help!!

So maybe the Drs give these people when they are drowning in it, and it appears to have no effect... but when they aren't too bad it helps? Maybe worth a 2nd try to improve things for you further?
