Coughing with the first inhale and terrible shortness of breath making it impossible to do the treatment. I have similar problems with 3% and Arikayce but not as intense. While many patients have no problem, my decrepit lungs do not like having this stuff in them!

@ rits I was not able to continue on the 7% saline as my doctor correctly predicted. I can't do Arkayce either. I'm on the 3% saline which I sometimes turn off in order to cough or get my breath. It lets me feel more in control. I've also just been approve for a flutter vest which I hope to get soon. I faithfully neb twice a day, no matter the difficulty. If I don't, I feel pretty bad. Don't give up
