I use musinex-probably spelled it wrong. It works for me. Thins the phlegm and coughing it up is easier. Good luck! Chris

Drink plenty of water. Guafiasin is in Robitussin cough syrup and loosens phlegm. I bought it one time in a bottle by itself with nothing else in it, but haven't seen it lately. Also, Mucinex, may help, but if you can find liquid guafiasin, it is cheap and is the same med.

I have a history of congestive heart failure (chemo drugs); but my heart recovered from that hit. Heart failure kind of goes along with COPD. It may be a good thing for all with this disease to weigh on a regular basis. If your weight goes up 3 or 4 pounds in a day, you are probably holding fluid, which could mean heart failure. The heart struggles to pump blood into our little air sacs in our lungs, which we know are damaged, then it starts to suffer damage, too.

Susan, I agree with Cmewarrick3. Mucinex and avoid milk products.

I also use mucinex per my doc and a device called an occupella. Its a green breathing device called a pickle that a resperatory tech gave me . When u blow into it vibrates and loosenes all that micus
