Dear Ottist ive been looking for you for days. I found part of the aticle about getting that shitty mucus out of your lungs. Control coughing is a process that helps you remove the mucus from your lungs. It is accomplished in short sessions that enable you to expel under controlled circumstances, the secretions that may be blocking your Airways. You'll want to plan these sessions out when you have time to rest in between.
Coughing is Nature's Way of cleaning out the lungs. Our lungs make mucus to trap dirt and other particles that enter our lungs and help expel it. If this mucus is not expelled it can leave us with a breeding ground for infection, causing blockages in our Airways, shortness of breath and wheezing. It is important to try and expel the secretions so that this does not happen. Cheap preformed a controlled cough, set up in a chair, leaning slightly forward. Soon the airway. up in the chair, leaning slightly forward. Take a deep nasal breath, and hold it for 2 seconds. Then forward and cough the first time to loosen the mucus. Cough again to move the mucus for through the airway. Try not to inhale between the two cars as this can move the mucus back down the airway. When you preform these coughs try not to make them large, but smaller and controlled. Use the diaphragm to push the air out, in a huffing motion short and quit. After coughing twice, wait a few seconds and repeat the process over again inhale slowly and deeply. Inhaling quickly can push the mucus back down the airway repeat this process until you feel as if you have removed the mucus and don't have two coffee anymore. Rest and relax be sure just spit coughed up mucus into a tissue and dispose of it. can push the mucus back down the airway repeat this process until you feel as if you have removed the mucus and don't have to cough anymore. Rest and relax be sure to spit up mucus and dispose of it. Let me know as if this helps at all and remember to always elevate your head. Take care of this and next time I'm looking you up you better answer me very quickly laugh out loud just joking

I take my oxygen in the shower with me, proptvthe bathroom door open to avid steam

You ma need to go to warm showers instead of hot ones. I would ask the doc for a test to see if O2 is necessary for exertion, and then use it in the shower. My guess is that you do need O2 for exertion and showering is certainly that.

If there is one thing I enjoyed in my life it was a good SHOWER EVERYDAY !!!! It gave me an exhilarating feeling in the AM B/4 work or play. Sad to say I can't take a shower anymore I use White Cloud lightly scented Wipes to bathe with they do trick but I dearly miss the SHOWER !!!!!! PS you can buy them at Walmart make sure you get the lightly scented wipes

I have the same problem, it takes my breath away. I find that doing a breathing treatment before you take a shower helps a little.
