RE: Mucus
You mentioned "before I started airway clearance."
Are you meaning the nebulizing of saline solution itself as airway clearance?
Are you meaning one of the drainage techniques for helping to bring up and out as airway clearance.
Are you meaning doing using both saline solution nebublized and drainage techinques as airway clearance.?
Have you ever been diagnosed with Acid Reflux or Hiatal Hernia?
You indicated "airway clearance seemed to help"
Do you still have the coughing up mucus problem?
If you do cough up mucus as yet, what does it look like?
The reason I asked is explained in my post labeled RE: vmorton Mucus Production.
Thanks.

In the beginning I started with the Incourage vest and a flutter device. From my memory, this seemed to help with the after dinner mucus.
About 2 months later, after seeing a different doctor, I added nebulizing albuterol and 7% saline. I also use the AD App and do about 30 minutes a day. During this time frame I went for a Barium Swallow test and was told I had a slight case of silent GERD. I now sleep with my head inclined and either flat on on my left side.
