Help in loosening mucus
I have noticed in the last few weeks my breathing has become more difficult due to mucus build up, have tried the Huff, and pierced lip methods it helped some but not enough, I wanted to know if I used a heating pad on my back would that help. I am on ox 27/7 TY.
Hi
. That must be super frustrating. Have you asked your doctor about using Mucinex to thin the mucus, if you don't use it already? That can be really effective. You might want to check in with your doctor anyway to be sure you don't have an infection that is causing you to produce more mucus.
I'm not sure whether a heating pad would help, but here is an article that includes some tips for coughing up mucus. I hope this helps: https://copd.net/clinical/mucus-with-copd. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
