Thank you for your comments. The pulmonologist says I do not have COPD although it acts like it. I am starting to believe that my chronic sinusitis has somehow caused my lung issues (brochiestisis, asthma and lung infections). I work very diligently to clear my sinuses but it is difficult due to thick gummy mucous that doesn’t completely rinse with multiple sinus rinses daily. The nebulizer May be clearing the gunk from my lungs. I have noticed increased post nasal drip at bedtime. I clear my sinus and throat before sleep and I have been waking once or twice as the PND slips into my throat. Mornings are usually pretty good until early afternoon. Evenings are the worst with lots of coughing and clearing airways.
I have taken antibiotics which only help for a short time. I have yet another sputum test pending. Last 2 CATSCANs have shown area of infection in right lung.
Thanks for link, I will read it.. Stay safe
