I am dealing with a triple challenge, bronchiectasis, severe osteoporosis and a chronic low sodium level, which can accelerate osteoporosis. I don't have a lot of mucus and am afraid to avoid dairy. If I don't drink more than the average amount of water my mucus becomes thicker and stubborn rather than staying juicy. I am grateful that I can exercise: bicycling, walking and strength training. My pulmonologist doesn't weigh in on finding the right balance. He ordered a CT because of recent recurrence of hemoptysis and because it's been awhile. Any ideas on the best approach? (I use an Aerobika and recently started adding Active Cycle of Breathing.)
