@toni4501 hi toni. I will try to answer your questions. I know from belonging to Lung Matters that reflux and stuff can definitely affect your lungs because you aspirate stuff into them especially when sleeping. You probably shouldn’t eat anything after 6 PM.

I will be honest with you, but I don’t want to influence or dissuade you from going to NATIONAL JEWISH. If I had a to do again, I wouldn’t. I am blessed to have a wonderful PULMONOLOGIST here in Atlanta, Dr Swenson my entire experience at NATIONAL JEWISH was very negative. There’s a lot of things that happened there that I was not happy with and I couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there, if you want me to tell you more details write me back as far as staying in a hotel we stayed one in cherry something that was supposed to kind of be affiliated with NATIONAL JEWISH and the rooms were so dusty. I don’t think they ever change the AC Filters. We literally had to go to target and buy a little vacuum cleaner and dust vacuum the room every single day because you could write your name on the furniture and on the floor in the dust, not to mention the filthy drains that backed up hair from probably yours it was disgusting.
I didn’t know anything at first when I got this or should I say found out I had it. But the doctors at NATIONAL JEWISH didn’t teach me a damn thing and all they wanted to do was shove medicine down my throat. They spent about 1% of their time talking about clearances, which is really the most important thing you should know and do you’ve got to get that mucus out of your lungs every day because if you don’t, you’re gonna get infections plain and simple the bacteria lives in the mucus, but if it doesn’t exist in there, and you clear it out every day, they have no place to live and you can pretty much assure yourself that you will not get an infection. I can’t stress enough how important this is.

If you really want to clean your lungs out way down deep in the Bellows and crevices where nebulizing doesn’t reach, I suggest you look at the above video and learn how to do it. It changed my life if I can help in any way just contact me.
