I have just got over a bladder infection which knocked me sideways, and kept me in bed for 2.5 weeks. I am still feeling quite weak but getting better daily. I have copd but am noticing that although I am coughing it is unproductive although I am taking my usual dose of Carbocystine which usually helps with coughing up in the morning.
Any ideas please
Hi, new to this myself but I'm sure someone will be along soon who may have a suggestion
I had unproductive choking coughing episodes sometimes causing me to pass out for a few seconds. Since using a salt pipe this has not happened. I don't cough a lot and when I do it is productive. Only used it since beginning of February so early days but good results so far
Google "How to get rid of mucus in lungs - YouTube" - may help.
In my previous post I gave a link for coughing up mucus - just watched it & it's crap. If you Google the subject I'm sure you'll find something better ..........
Hi i take carbocystine four times a day when i'm have a bad copd time ,I also do the huff exercise were you feel like something is either sitting on you chest or stuck in your throat , you huff a couple of times and it tends to loosen it and leaning over the sink or banisters if you have any resting you arm across the front of you chest helps i find . Like the salt pipe if you have nebs you can ask for saline nebs to help . Hope that's helped you.
Thanks Diane, I will up my carbocystine and see if that helps. Huffing isn't working as I don't seem to have anything to huff up!!
