Why do I cough up mucus at the end of every meal?

Have you ever been told or heard, the possiblity of, that nebulizing sodium chloride might affect Acid Reflux? I am trying to find out if this is a possiblity. It seems, it appears, it has gotten worse since nebulizing the saline.
I am wondering if the solution does because the mucus (foamy, white, frothy, bubbly) is so much worse during the nebulizing of the saline solution, without any other medications just the saline solution.
I need to clear out the "stuff" every other second I nebulize. I have to hurry and get back onto the nebulizer in hopes of being able to inhale/exhale with it before I have to clear out the mucus build up described above. As many things can be, especially with our Bronchiectasis, this is so frustrating..... the constant having to clear the "stuff" out of my throat, system.

Your issues mimic my issues exactly, however I do not have a hernia. I do have some acid reflux but must be silent as I have no issues with that and don’t take anything for it. Have you tried stopping the saline for a period of time to see if the constant mucus in throat disappears? How you explain what is coming up is exactly what I get up. I think mine could be coming from my sinus’s and it drips down all day then when I nebulize with 7% and use a vest or don’t use the vest I have to clear out this mucus every second as well and it feels like coming from esophagus but could be the drip from all day coming up. I rarely get anything out of my lungs, just get the “stuff” you described perfectly.
