Revisiting Nightly Mouth Breathing During Sleeping Hours
MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (30)Comment receiving replies
I discovered Buteyko 15-20 years ago and started using mouth tape because I breathed thru my mouth at night. I used the tape religiously for probably 15 years, then stopped. I started mouth breathing again, so now I use the tape again at night. It keeps my mouth less dry. It also helps decrease snoring. I cough in the morning, but only bring up a little phlegm. (I also took NAC for a while, which produced more phlegm. However, it increased my hip arthritis, so I stopped the NAC and my arthritis doesn't bother me nearly as much. I have mild BE and MAC, and only nebulize 7% saline. Otherwise, my health seems fine. I'm 77.)

Yes, same here mild BE and MAC/MAI so far.
Yes I had been waking up with dry mouth for a good few years...that has stopped for some reason, thankfully. The dry mouth stopped before I started taping again however as I said the phlegm/sputum is less sticky and not as hard to get up and out at night now that I am taping again. I use to sometimes wake myself up with the snoring, no more of that also.
So many things affect other things when it comes to medicine or supplements. So far when I take the NAC, as far as I can tell I'm O.K. I don't take NAC every day, I do other things that I think helps also. I like to alternate.
I beat you, I'm 82 and four months into my young elderly self stage of life. Yes, in the big picture of things I feel well.
Glad to hear your "health seems fine".!
Thanks for responding.
