Thanks everyone!
I really appreciate your thoughtful replies. @sueinmn @cate123456 @cayenne @maureen2022 @sher1 @lp8 @nana43 @liz440
My triggers have changed after a recent move to the desert, so I'm getting adjusted and paying attention.
In general, getting cheaty with my diet can send me into an unwell space.
Wearing myself out with too much activity / stress for consecutive days is another issue > trigger.
And recently, dealing with dust storms, dry air, and wind seem to be aggravating my airways.
Over-doing airway clearance seems to be a risk, too. I recently added Clear Lungs (Ridgecrest) to my diet and I'm noticing wonderful results.
When I have an incident of hemoptysis (coughing up blood), I back off on airway clearance for a day or two and reintroduce slowly to give my body time to heal.
A healthy, happy mindset and high quality rest always help me get back in the game of life.
Stay golden,
Amy

I find wearing a medical mask (not N95 - the cheap pleated kind) helps a lot when it is windy & dusty (which is most of the time in deep south Texas.) On really bad days I resign myself to staying inside with AC & air filters running.
