Choking and throwing up after Huffing
I was admonished by a nurse to just not huff so hard if it made me throw up....but once again, after nebulizer and doing GENTLE huffs, my throat filled with stuff that I couldn't breath around, and there went breakfast.
Am I alone?

@rebecross Before I was diagnosed with MAC and Bronchiectasis and learned about airway clearance, I had a severe continuous cough and this sometimes happened to me. Once I started using an Acapella, and later Aerobika, and huff coughing, it has not happened.
But most of the time I do airway clearance before I eat because it works for my schedule.
Maybe you can try that?

A breathing technique for bringing mucus up out of the lungs, hard to actually describe. I recommend a YouTube video search!
