I have the same probably with doing airway clearance before breakfast. I have acid reflux and have to eat dinner early. About 7 or 8 pm.is when I have most mucus. So I try to be finished with dinner by 5 pm.. Start airway clearance around 7 pm. snd it last for hours. Can not eat or drink afterwards because of acid reflux. I am very dehydrated until about midday. After 3 years of nebulizing and smart vest I still do not have a schedule for airway clearance. I would love to have a decent routine so that I can get to bed earlier

Please talk to your doc about seeing a respiratory therapist - with your vest - to get a better airway clearance routine established. Besides being so disruptive to your life, spending that much time at it has to be irritating to your lungs and ribs, which could be making things worse.
