A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

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. šŸ˜Š

Does Anyone Cough So Much They Feel They Are Going To Choke To Death And Can't Breath?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

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.

Inhalers
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

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.

*** Old, old post from 2017; please ignore the siteā€™s recirculating it ***

*****************************

Iā€™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 Californiaā€™s Death With Dignity laws. Iā€™d put a pet down to end its suffering. Why is it so wrong to discuss choosing the same for myself ?
