I try not to do huff cough because the way the PT demonstrated was very forceful which made my stomach hurt and can cause reflux.
I cough mostly inthe morning to expel mucous accumulation during the night.

Hello Marie-
Overall the huff cough is suggested because it is not suppose to be so forceful to cause pressure or tension and hopefully not for you to experience reflux.
Take your deep breaths through the nose, hold it and then just gently huff cough, meaning you would be making a ha, ha, ha sound.
Have you watched one or more of the many good videos showing how to do the huff cough.
Some people hold a pillow to the abdomen when they huff cough.
