my lungs keep rattling, its really strange. it kinda feels like I have a purring cat stuck in my lungs when I breathe, it feels worse breathing in. whenever it happens, it causes me to cough a lot and I bring a load of chunky thick white/clear sticky mucus up, or a combination of the 2.
its been happening multiple times an hour today and its getting ever so slightly annoying.. anyone got any idea what it could be?

hmm not sure, but it doesn't sound too good! I believe mucus that colour is meant to be 'asthma' mucus and suggests something is going on in there that needs attention.
Might be worth giving out of hours a call or booking urgent GP appt tomorrow (though from your other post I know that things haven't been easy with your GP).
Good luck!
I'll try get a doctors appointment tomorrow - I went to the toilet before I went to bed and I could definitely hear something when it happens, I thought I could just feel it until I was sat where it was really quiet. I'm 99.9% sure its coming from my lungs with the fact its only happening when my lungs feel to rattle or whatever it is. hmm.
I get this too, and the deeper you breathe the more of a rattle you get. I got it for a couple of weeks after my last chest infection had cleared. It did go as my asthma improved. I guess you might need more meds for the asthma to settle and the rattling to go. I hope you're rid of it soon, it's a little unnerving isn't it?
