So very sorry you’re experiencing this. I’m new to bronchiectasis and MAC so I’m experimenting with different techniques. I have a small amount of sputum and it’s hard to get it up. Things Ive found super helpful: exercise brings up the most gunk. I got a rebounder trampoline and 15 minutes on it is not only fun and great exercise but brings up the most gunk! Something about the bounce really loosens it. I do it after Levalbuterol and saline. I also just got a compression vest through insurance…weirdest thing ever but it is really helping. I also double up on saline …two vials. Best wishes to you!!

I also bought a little rebounder to use for a few minutes when it’s too windy or rainy to go outside to exercise. I like it.

Thank you! I'm going to look into the rebounder. I can't seem to produce any sputum, so it would be great to find something that works

@mmahlik interesting about the rebounder. My gym has one, I am going to give it a try. It might not be a great fit with my arthritis but worth an experiment. Thanks for sharing.
