@jerrykdb, Hi, Jerry, I have asthma and chronic bronchitis so am on oxygen at night. My pulmonologist suggested that I restrict my dairy intake which was hard for me initially because I love all things dairy. However, restricting dairy has resulted in much less coughing and mucus production for me.

As @merpreb, posted, it is scary not to be able to breathe as well as we once did. However, Merry's information was so helpful to me and I hope to you as well. I have no medical background but a friend had the pleural infusion procedure and reported excellent results. I hope you will seek some medical relief for your symptoms and report back on how you are doing.
