If I am sick then I cough stuff up instantly. Otherwise it usually moves its way up later on. Christian and I go to the same clinic and they are great about making sure you breath when having an unproductive cough or huffing or even drinking water. All these secrets during CPT is what gets us the most for our efforts.

I tend to not get anythign up during therapies unless I force myself to cough- there is a very effective cough technique on saskasuka's blog in the letter from warwick that has helped me when used in conjunction with huffing. I tend to get most up about 4 hours post vest which is not very pleasant for my office mates <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> but is also about the time the peak effectiveness of pulmozyme kicks in.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Hypertonic Saline. When I can't get anything out Hypertonic Saline is sometimes the only thing that works...other than of course just waiting several hours. When I was younger I could never get anything out in the mornings and because of it, I would be coughing stuff up most of the day. I wish I had the hypertonic saline at least 10 years ago.

I agree that my HS does get stuff out. But right now nothing is working. I do the coughing technique and it doesn't get anything out, my HS isn't getting anything out. It honestly feels like someone is sitting on my chest.
I do feel a little better today so I guess the acapella is moving stuff around if not coming up. I just wish something would get this up!

Is there someone in your home that could do some manual chest pt on you-try that for 2 days and see if you feel a difference.

Or maybe they can give you a massage. Getting right between the ribs & literally rub it out!
