I cough at night and get to the point where sometimes I pass out. I also have passed out from coughing while I am up and have injured myself several times. But, my main question is, can you choke to death from coughing, because you can't get mucous up? I take cough syrup and pills prescribed to help with coughing, but sometimes it doesn't help. Any suggestions appreciated.
“Fisherman Friend” cough lozenges are really good and get them just about anywhere and cheap no prescription
It looks like a inhaler but it is a mucus clearance and expansion device that cleans and increases lung capacity it sucks the mucus right out it was on medical news today it clean your lungs
Cough syncope... I have that when I cough too hard... always need fast sit down plan when standing up while deep coughing.
I have had a build up of mucus it's been building up for a long time. I need to get rid of it! Pretty sure it's covering my lungs.
I've been taking mucinex for 2 weeks I can feel it at the top of my neck if that makes sense. I cough but nothing cones up. It's driving me crazy! I have wondered if I used a turkey baster if that would work. Just kidding. Anyway if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. 😊
Sometimes I have a piece of chocolate bar or a drink of milk to loosen the pflem .I almost always feel relief after i drink a few drinks of water .
I recently read an article on Facebook, about a special inhaler that can help greatly, but it is not a drug of any sort but it helps to open the airways. I have no idea how it works. But was wondering if anyone had heard of it. It is supposedly a natural product. But they are $100 New Zealand dollars.
it sure didn't work for me it's like doing the purse breathing in and out didn't make me cough or anything I did it for a week same thing but every thing isn't for everyone well have a breathe easy… read more
Cough up mucus all day or just in the morning and if all day is this indication of flare up Thank you all stay well
so sorry to hear this
If anyone in the group has used Mucinex to help get sputum up please let me know your results and if it really is effective .How much and how often do you take it ?
I had it in the hospital in the neb and it did help some. I keep getting pneumonia and the mucus staying in the bottom of my lungs may be the reason so I need help getting rid of it . I am open to all suggestions . Thanks to all and breathe easy .
I have taken one Mucinex a day for 14 years of having COPD now. It works for me in keeping the congestion and mucus down - I take the one that is an Expectorant alone.

I’m still here as of 14-MAR-24. Previously, I have also hired an end of life Doula to help me ease out of this world when the time finally comes and I can comply with California’s Death With Dignity laws. I’d put a pet down to end its suffering. Why is it so wrong to discuss choosing the same for myself ?

This is an Aerobika. You blow into it. It causes fluttering in your throat to loosen mucus. It works for me.
