Airway clearance successful techniques

@gigiv I completely agree! I have been a daily jogger most of my adulthood but had cut back a two years ago for about 9 months prior to my problems. I often wonder if the jogging kept my lungs clear because after I stopped I developed mucus plugs, then pneumonia and finally a diagnosis of bronchiectasis. After I recovered from pneumonia I got back into jogging daily. It feels like an additional nebulizing treatment for me. I also do airway clearance breathing and have not had any issues for close to two years. Exercise if you can!

I have done a 3 mile walk almost every day, in many climates, for over 60 years. I notice that the walking does a better job of loosening the mucus than the Aerobika flutter device. I use the Aerobika before I go out to walk, but I find that when I come back I bring up more and thicker mucus with no more fluttering. I've lived in several different climates. The coldest I walked was 9 degrees. I would never do that again. I am lucky to live in Arizona where I walk almost every day, sometimes indoors. All you need is a good pair of shoes and preferably a walking partner. A good way to meet people also. Roz
