Tell your doc is WA#%%# and you want percussion vest if you have lung disease and keep suffering pneumonia and you breath in and breathing muscles look staggered on inhalation could be atelectasis AS all lung dieased Will suffer from it NO if's buts or Exceptions.

So clearing mucus is priority and good breathing.

Thats a other thing our nice doctors gps don't tell us about our conditions.

Hi, supplying a mucus sample often helps in chasing down the cause of infections. Do you see a consultant or is it your GP giving advice?

If I were you I'd be asking for a consultant referral. Your choice though.
