I just received mine to start. Problem one, have several of the side effect already. My question is, did you have phlegm before you started it? Because I never cough or have phlegm. My problem is I have too much co2 and it’s getting trapped. I was on oxygen 24/7 for 4 years and complaining my breathing was getting worse. Questioned why I seemed to do better without while sitting. No test was done to confirm my questions until I had to get an updated walk. Just came right in and said, I no longer needed oxygen! Scared to death but my family dr sent me for another test walking and they said I did while walking. 2 yrs now and still no further walks or breathing test. My breathing has been much better, now that I only use it while being active, but don’t need it sitting. So a little scared to try something that hasn’t been out that long or could make me worse. I read if breathing gets worse, stop or go to ER.

@nanat24 It sounds like you do not see a pulmonologist, but rely on family doc. You really must see a pulmonologist to clear up everything you are dealing with. And yes I did have phlegm before I started Ohtuvayre and now less often and much less coughing to get it up. Take care and see a pulmo.
