Hello!
I start my day with ACTs (around 6:30 am).
1- I nebulize with albuterol (I have asthma)
2-Hypertonic saline 7%
3-Aeorobika or flutter
4-Autogenic Drainage
5-Smart vest for 15 minutes
6-Meds
7-Breakfast
8-Go for a walk or to the gym
I do not produce or cough out a lot of mucus, but I do everything possible to keep my lungs clean.
Before bedtime I repeat the same steps except the exercises . It is exhausting and time consuming. I use that time for my prayers, some TV, and text to family/ friends. I am 64 , was diagnosed with BE in December 2023. I was very sick, lost 23 pounds. This year, I only had one exacerbation in February. I want to stay well this winter. We are different and ACTs works different for us. I think we need to find the balance, making our lungs our priority. This is a long journey. Good luck!
