Here's help for Brochiectasis sufferers. I am finding that using a chest expander helps to loosen any obstructions in my 'trapped' lung. The expander has only one rubber cord. If the expander is too easy to use, simply tie a knot or two in the rubber chord. PS. A nebuliser arrives tomorrow.

I attended a pulmonary rehabilitation unit for bronchiectasis sufferers before the pandemic. They provided each of us with a simple, expanding rubber rope to use at home. Apparently, they are easily obtainable and very cheap to buy. As well as exercising muscles, like your expander they help you to expel mucous and clear your chest.

I use mine a couple of times a day and would recommend it to other sufferers.

Out of interest skipwork where did you get yours?
