Seems my biggest thing with BX is night time, always coughing up every 30 mins getting no sleep,so I figured I try doing oxygen,started last night finally got some sleep, just wondering if anyone else is doing the same,and what are the results.

I still use the neb during the day Sodium & Albuterol & Synbicort have been my main stay and of course a lot of Natural things that have come from this Forum too much to mention.

Best,

Charlie

    Hi Charlie, if it works, don't knock it, good luck. Hopefully you have had professional advice about using oxygen, it is a medication and should be on a prescription. I nebulise Salbutamol, Ipratropium, 6% saline, Gentamicin, I have a nasal spray and fostair, I also take two carbocisteine three times a day. I try to clear my chest at least two hours before bed and don't eat or drink anything for those two hours as well. I do postural drainage with self clapping and huff and cough the rubbish out, then relax for the last two hours and go to bed relaxed and calm. I cannot sleep with my upper body in an upright or anything other than flat but if you can that would be to the good. Good luck, I hope that it keeps working for you.
