Anyone waking up after wheezing and coughing up mucus from copd?

It has become chronic with me. The best suggestion I can give is to watch the color of your mucus. I have learned clear is normal but yellow, green, brown and black have a whole different meaning and you should contact your Dr. as it may be a sign of infection or worse.

I take Musinex ( actually a different brand). Every 12 hours I take a 1200 dose tablet . I stopped with the Brand name Musinex , as it was costing me 70$ a month . I drink a lot of water . I am stage 4 for 18 months now . My sputum is mostly pale . Had some dark brown , but is to be expected a bit . . Saw doc , no infection . Blessed Be all of you . Crystalena

I awoke with serious phlegm this morning . It took me a good coughing session to clear it . I do know why it happened. Yesterday , I ate a slice of onion and I had a slice of cheddar cheese . These two things cause phlegm increase. The other foods that cause it to flare for me are butter/cooking oil or pasta.
