I think what works for each person is something you just have to figure out. For a long time i only used the Aerobika sitting up. Then on a forum i read that someone's pulmonologist told her to use it also laying down and on each side. That has made a big difference for me. I lay down with my head slightly inverted and a pillow under my hips and then also on each side. i get what feels like all of the mucus out. But when i went to the dentist recently (two times) i found that after laying inverted for a long period of time in the dental chair, that even more mucus came up (they were understanding). I sometimes wonder if an inversion table would be a good idea once a week or so. But then there is the GERD issue so it would have to be done on an empty stomach. Has anyone heard of using inversion like that?

Gosh, Irene, you said "But when i went to the dentist recently (two times) i found that after laying inverted for a long period of time in the dental chair, that even more mucus came up..." That just happened to me yesterday - spent over 3 hours in the chair, and they had to keep allowing me to sit up and clear. Duh, it never occurred to me - I had inversion & vibration (drill) going endlessly from 9 to noon to prepare for 2 crowns and I was still coughing stuff up at bedtime.
Think I will neb extra today, just to be sure that if I inhaled anything bad it will come out.
