Airway Clearance

I guess you could call it airway clearance. I was a very stubborn child and teenager, so I NEVER coughed anything up...it grossed me out completely. Now I do the saline and get so much gross ***** out, its awesome.

Definitely be warned though that when you start it, it might make you spastically cough at first. I had a hard time starting it and every once in a while (when I have a bad cold or post nasal drip) its very hard for me to do. I had also stopped the Pulmo when I first started the HTS b/c my doc thought it would take too much time. Well I have since started back on the Pulmo and do it before the HTS and it has really helped with tightness and wheezing as well. Good luck!

Yeah, it's clearance. It works with or without the vest for me. I only use 3-4 percent though as 7 percent makes me cough for like an hour.

when i first started it about 5 1/2 years ago i was doing 10%. then over time i couldn't tolerate it anymore-thought i was gonna cough a whole lung up or something! anyway, now i do the 7% and if i'm sick sometimes i do a lower % just so i can tolerate it better and get some down deep without coughing my head off. i do it with my vest like others have said and its much more effective for me that way. its defintely worth getting on it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
