@lsm1936 I see that you found your way to Mayo in August of 2024. How long have you had BE, Bronchiectasis. I am now...83 and was diagnosed in August of 2022.
I find that there are some mornings that I am somewhat tense after doing the full therapy for our BE.....nebulizing, all air way clearance techniques and the, not so much fun, huff coughing.
Fortunately, I do bring up mucus and mucus plugs but I am having a hard time getting the plugs up from my lower left lobes. I have begun doing the postural drainage positions that are suppose to help get the plugs out of that area. I hope I am going to be successful with getting the plugs out.
I keep asking myself..."Are you going to be able to do all of this in your upper eighty years or possibly 90's" Overall, as we know, we have no idea what tomorrow will bring in living life day to day.
Hope you are having a good day.

@lsm1936 Not @helen1000 but I have an answer about AD app. It's the Autogenic Drainage app available on android or iPhone from the app store free. It essentially a breath counting coach. When I used it I found it very helpful.
You mention you have a problem getting the mucus out. Are you using 7% saline in your nebulizer?
