One other technique that helps some people is the pursed lips technique for breathing. Inhale for a count of 2-3 and then exhale through pursed lips, as if you were going to whistle. Some sites say exhale to the count of 5 and others recommend exhaling longer, if you can. Repeat a few times daily. It is also calming. There are websites that give you options for deep breathing exercises. Check with your physician or pulmonologist, but there is benefit for most people according to the research.

Hi Jnmy,
Thank you so much! Your information and advice is very helpful. I will certainly check on Bronchiectasis. It sounds possible. I do have phlem that I cough up while I am taking a shower. I was couging for over a year, but my doctor was able to relieve my couging with Carafate. I'm no longer coughing, thank goodness! Thank you for the advice about he silent reflux too and the breathing exercise! I will try it! I'm sure it will help! Can't hurt to try it. I really appreciate your response. I am hoping to get more answers soon! Thank you once again!
