You may want to try a huff cough to get up any mucus (from your throat) and more importantly any phlegm ( from your lungs). It may be something to ask your doctor if you have to wait any length of time before your pulmonologist appointment.

If they thought you had Bronchiectasis, hopefully they would recommend an airway clearance product such as the Aerobika, since you mention having a lot of phlegm. Just a thought.

I wonder if physicians are reluctant to suggest the Aerobika before a pulmonologist is seen. They are the specialists after all.

It is a rare disease and it is really hit or miss on whether a physician is even knowledgeable about the top five or six chronic lung diseases and their symptoms.

Perhaps they don’t know about the products. If that is the case, more awareness of BE and airway clearance would be helpful.
