Hello Lodestar,

I can't help you personally, but am sure someone will be along very soon to help you out with some good support. It may be that your operation will clear everything up - and you will get back to as near normality as possible once again......is this what you have been told already?

they are not 100% and to be honest nor am I - we shall see I am now dependant to use my nebuliser before I go to bed and after sleeping just a couple of hours have to use it again

Hi Sue my friend has copd and a hiatus hernia and the hiatus hernia made her breathing worse. She had her operation last year and made a full recovery and her breathing is much better

Hi,

I have Bronchiectasis and Asthma have tried the Acapella Mucus Reliever it helped with my coughing and also on nebuliser. Had a awhile with steroids but did not touch it this time just made other matters worse, ie. not sleeping and different mood swings, now thank god am off of them, but give the Acapell Reliever a go, you get them on the NHS and hope it will bring some relief to you.

All the best
