hi i have pcd and my school starts next month and i'm so worried and embarrassed to cough in class and i dont take meds and do exercises so i was hoping you could show me what the meds and the exercises that can make me cough less in my day
first, i wanna say that i completely relate when you say that you feel worried and embarrassed. even now i find it super hard to open up to people about my condition, let alone cough in front of them. currently, i take albuterol sulfate nebulizer. it works for me, but i’m sure everyone’s bodies are different! the medicine is a vaporizer/liquid and i take it twice a day for 10 minutes each session. in terms of exercises i used to run. i don’t as much now, because the medicine helps a lot now and im lazy. something i would say really helps is getting an Acapella too to help vibrate the chest and get the mucus up. also, a vibrator chest helps too but it’s more awk for me idk. lastly, i find laying on my back and either doing the Acapella or not helps a LOT with coughing up. i found that a few hours after the albuterol the phlegm really starts to soften and coughing whatever i can without the Acapella is normally fine, but using it helps get everything
