I had never heard of that! Did anyone tell you it is ok to exhale through the nose? I have on occasion seen foam in the cup and wondered what caused it. I have always exhaled though my mouth. Just seems natural when using the nebulizer. I find using the Aerobika after and not during works better for me plus I HAVE to use different body positions while using the Aerobika.

No one told me it was okay, and in through the mouth and out through the nose does not feel normal. Both in and out through my nose is normal for me, unless my nose is stuffy. At night if I don't keep my mouth closed, breathing both in and out through my nose, my mouth and throat get painfully dry. After seeing Dr. Winthrop, I neb first, sometimes add the Aerobika while sitting, then Aerobika alone for lying on each side and my back.
