when do you bring up the most mucous?

[mum2kj]

Kj seems to not get much up in the morning but in the evening she brings up half a cup full.

I thought that more mucous would come up in the morning as it has pooled in the lungs over night?

What is normal?

Thanks in advance <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

i usually get the most up at night because i haven't been asleep for the past 8 hours and not moving, when you do the night treatment you have been active all day getting it loose and then you do the treatment and get it out.

I bring up the most in the morning. I think its a combo of the lying down position (which I try to to before manual CPT in the hospital) and lack of movement, nebs & coughing to clear it like during the day.

I get the most up about 4 hour after my pulmozyme and vest treatments. Not coincidentally the peak effectiveness of pulmozyme is 4 hours. When doing treatments in morning I get up a little but not much and in evening almost nothing but 1/3 way through my work day is when I start getting up all the nasty stuff.

i produce more sputum in the morning! i can easily fill a cup up when i first wake up. when i wake i have my meropenem neb, which really helps. i find if i stay in bed longer and sleep, i produce even more sputum. thats why i try to wake up at a reasonable time each morning.

I definitely get up more in the AM. I do my Hypertonic Saline in the morning, so that I feel better during the rest of the day. If I am able to get up a lot of stuff, it really clears me out for the rest of the day. That's why I do my hts in the AM.

i am an am'er as well. a dose of hypertonic saline and albuterol with a nice, hot shower to start the day usually produces quite a bit of gunk.

i used to be a pm'er, but when i became more regular on the hydration and chest pt's i became an am'er. for me, i would dread the morning fits, and stifle my coughs, so it took the whole day to loosen it up. now that it's a good consistency, some work to clear the pools in the morn, and just maintenance the rest of the day!!
