Vibrating vest

I currently am not using the vest daily. I am currently in Florida until 4/12/25. But I’m definitely going to retry it when I return to NY. When I tried it from September-December (2024) it seemed to work somewhat. During that period my mucus didn’t seem to be as deep in my lungs as it is now. The manufacturer of the Afflo vest told me it has to be used 2-4 weeks daily before I’d possibly see a difference in it helping me move the mucus to my upper airways to cough out. One I return and use again I will post information on it. I know I have been told that I have to experiment with different other airway clearance techniques to see what works best.

Hillrom tech told me the vest moves mucous out of lower lobes and huff cough should be done after therapy 2 x a day.
I only do it once a day. My husband does chest PT in morning when I have a lot of mucous.
Good luck
