OH Christian...you poor thing. When I was sick and still tried to use HS I had the gagging. It never really got into my lungs to get the benefit. I would gag & get the dry heaves like when I walk outside & the cold takes my breath away. I had to stop it for that time period. I never did go back to it because Dr. Walker was afraid that the cons outweighed the pros for me.

Well I heard that major coughing is a "good" side effect of hypertonic.. im on 7% and it really screws with my throat making me cough and when I cough heavy I most likely gag.. I heard that because of weaker stomachs that this can suck.. so I dunno coughing is good but if your throwing up.. I agree with everyone else switch to somethin lower.. hmm or can you maybe take something to numb the heck outa your throat before hand? that might help..!!

It really does help me cough up stuff more. My lungs have improved alot since being on it. Thats why its worth it for me to stick it out and keep trying to use it. Its gotten better since I'm feeling better. I think its a pregnancy related thing for me though-I gag alot. Fun!

I have had the same problem lately Christian. I have been coughing since about Monday and when I went to do the HS on Tuesday, my throat was so raw and hurt soooo bad that I decided to take Wed off, to give my throat a break. I am planning on doing it today, so I'm hoping its better. The only thing is my cough is worse today and more gunky, so I will probably gag a lot today. Its funny that you posted this topic, because I have been having the problems as well. I was gonna just wait and see, because I dont want to go off of the HS. I have only been on it for a few weeks and I have loved it so far, so I dont wanna stop it altogether.

I brought this up a while back and no one replied... I have had this happen since i started the saline.. it sucks. I found what helps me is to take breaks, but also pay attention to how far back I put the mouth piece into my mouth. I discovered that if i let it touch my tounge more than ~1/3 of the way back, I would gag constantly. Also, I swallow more during my treatments (ie, taking breaks) and that has helped as well. I also wear my vest during treatments, which helped to a certain extent I think as well.
good luck
