Anyone feel tense throughout their body after the morning BE session?

Yes. I sympathize with what you describe. I am intrigued by your choice of the word "tense" as I have been feeling something after each AM/PM treatment session. I have BE and M. Abscessus and follow a routine similar to yours (nebulized 7% saline, active breathing, Aerobika, postural drainage, huff, etc.)
I'm new to this regimen. I haven't' found the right words to describe how I feel after each airway clearance session. But I have noticed that after the AM sessions I do feel somewhat tense, or hyper, or anxious, or something. Those feelings are less intense after the PM sessions, but I have learned that I will need at least an hour or two after the session concludes before I can fall asleep.
Thanks for posting this question. I'll be interested to see how this group responds.

So interesting Ed and glad to have the response.
I recently started doing a short nebulizing session about an hour and a half before bed and it seems to help with my not needing to clear my mucus/lungs after waking up to walk down the hall to do as my bladder is instructing me to do. I wake up a least three times a night and try to stay in bed as long as I can, if I can fall back to sleep, so that I get at least 7 hours of sleep. Doesn't always happen, 7 hours of sleep.
Yes the late afternoon and last session is better in that I don't have the tense, whole body, feeling as the morning session.
