Burning/irritation in throat/ chest after nebulizing and huffing

Hi Sally. I too am very dry in the am and don't try to nebulize until later in the day after I'm better hydrated. I also prefer not to do treatments directly after eating because the airway clearance breathing, coughing (and smart vest if you use that) can cause gastric reflux. 7% saline can take a little time to get used to, but I found it does bring up more mucus. Diluting it with your 3% for a bit is a good idea. Breathing in some room air during treatment and taking more time can also help with the transition.

Hi Karen,
Thank you for your response. I seem to have more mucous in the morning. Sometimes it hurts my throat and chest after I huff cough for a while during a treatment. Sometimes I have more mucous in the afternoon. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, why the mucous level differs. I hydrate all the time so that should not be an issue.
I usually go exercise after a morning treatment so, if I have plans for the day, I need to start early.
Maybe I I need to rethink my schedule like get up eat, go exercise, and then do my treatment.
