Please help pulmonary vest problem

I have had a percussion vest for 1 year. The therapist told me to dial down the pressure
I generally start at 40% and go up y 50-60. I could not tolerate higher . It hurt my ribs and neck. I don't use it right after eating. I was also told by pulmonologist that I didn't need to wait for 12 hrs. Hope this helps!

Kkp10. Thank you. Yes I did put it at one for now. My ribs and muscles are still sore and spasms still bad. I am trying one for 5 minutes. If I can keep that up I’ll go higher. I was ready to quit, but I won’t give up yet, my muscles will let me know. Physical therapy for those 10 months was costly. I can’t get like that again.
