What does the group use when having trouble expectorating mucous?

[kalona46]

I have recently began having difficulty coughing up anything. Is this process that happens with COPD?

I have used both an Acapella and an Aerobika. For me, the Aerobika works best.John

The Aerobika just makes me dizzy

[kalona46 in reply to R2B_John]

Thank you. After much research, I've decided to try the Acapella Choice Blue Vibratory PEP Therapy System. One can use it in any position and it's appears less complicated and for me that's a very good thing. Plus, it's really releases the mucous.

Hi R2B_John, I have been looking at the Aerobika, is there a particular model that is best?

Someone recommended taking carbocistine, I am planning on asking my pulmo about it at my next visit.

[R2B_John Moderator in reply to Feelingblessed2013]

Good to have a chat with your doctor. My doctor had recommended N Acetyl cisteine. Their are many mucolytics and they ARE different. Here is a link to some info.
