@sueinmn Sue, when everything seems under control during daytime and yet bad night coughing comes in at random during the night with very little or no mucus coming up, is caused by improper lung clearance during the day? I've read quite a few of your posts and I know you have had this problem too as does most people here. Last night, for example, I had about three episodes that kept me awake about two or three hours. I have tried cough syrup and it does not seem to stop them as well as honey and water. Until my last Aerobika session I was doing what my lung therapist told me and that was to inhale, hold my breath, then blow out as hard as I can. I bought a manometer and learned I was blowing extremely hard (emphasis added) and wondering if I have damaged something that will take time to calm down. Question is, what techniques have you used to calm down in the middle of the night and get back to sleep, if you can?
