Hi Jnmy,
I agree with the comment from scoop. I have Bronchiectasis and recently went positive again for MAC.
2x per day is the best practice protocol at minimum. Neb Albuterol Solution, Flutter/Aerobika, Neb 3% saline and end with a Flutter.
Sometimes I will do deep breathing, and Huff Coughing as well....and that has been helpful
Sure hope the shortness of breath will subside as it did for me.
I'm 78 yrs. old and following the AWC protocol has
given me a new lease on life.

Thank you frankie160,

This is the first time I've seen someone on a protocol that is similar to what my doctor asked me to do. The only difference is that he has me doing 3% saline first, then the Albuterol. (with the flutter as you described) It is very encouraging that your shortness of breath subsided and you feel you have a new lease on life. I'm 63 and new to this, and needed the good news 🙂
