Diagnosed with pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in my lungs

Please (please) be very careful with the vest. I know everyone is different but my case was not good. The setting was the lowest, had to do 15 minutes, twice a day. After a month, my lungs become really fragile and coughed up blood (not sure from the vest or from taking NAC). There is one area in my lungs that is causing pain ( I am 5 feet, 105lbs last year). Some people find the vest beneficial but not me.

I know there can be problems with the vest. I coughed up blood (the condition they call hemoptysis) perhaps five times from 2017 to 2020. Research tells me that in about 37% of the cases, the reason for coughing up blood is not known.
I have a physician friend who told me and my pulmonologist that bacteria loves blood, which I believe was why I was prescribed antibiotics each time I had an episode of coughing up blood.
I hope you have been better of late. Take care and stay well.
