Diagnosed with pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in my lungs

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.

Thank you happy2023. The last time I coughed up was a lot, had to rush to ER and stayed for 5 days. I stopped using it but it left my lungs inflamed and sensitive. Are you still using it? I was asymptomatic till 2021, no one could tell I have a lung disease. But now coughing up yellow/green mucus every day no matter how much ACT I do. I'm hanging in there and this disease is controlling me, especially my mind. Please stay well and take care.
