Karen, I can relate. Lately I was doing the same thing. My lungs felt irritated. I decided to cut back on 7% saline from twice a day to once a day. It's made a world of difference. I'm going to discuss with my pulmonologist. I think my lungs needed the break. And I had been doing twice a day with no problem for years. I'm not saying you should do the same and I don't know what you do for airway clearance but definitely talk to your doctor.

Cindy,
Thanks for the reply. I use 3% saline once a day and that is the only airway clearance I deliberately do. All my other coughing throughout the day brings up mucus as well. About the only time I don’t cough is in the evenings. I would like to use the Aerobika but it just doesn’t bring up any mucus for me. I will definitely be talking to my doctor in July after my next CT scan.
