Is treatment for Mac and airway clearance really necessary

I find doing the aerobic a very tough because I order to get mucus out. I have to breathe in very hard and hold it and then expel also very intensely. I do 5 to 6 sets of 20 each and by the time I’m done I am totally exhausted, even if I’m watching TV or on my iPad never left. Thank you for your Em

That's an aggressive schedule. I usually do three sets of ten two times a day, or three times if I'm extra mucus-y that day. I usually tolerate it pretty well. I sometimes use an acapella instead, which is a bit more gentle but possibly slightly less effective, at least for me. Best of luck to you.
