I have a question mam, when I did that half breath thing my lungs did something weird like it felt the mucus bubbled or something because I think I have the flue so idk can you please awnser asap
I’ve been TERRIFIED of coughing up phlegm because I hate gagging and throwing up BUT THIS WORKED SO GOOD!! I was mentally preparing myself for so long because I was scared but I coughed up so much. I feel relieved thank you thank you thank you
I am, and I'm so scared- I always feel like I'm pushing my lungs when I'm breathing deeply a lot, which is scary- because I'm 14, and I don't even know if I'm supposed to be experiencing this at my age or not- hopefully it really is just phlegm that's blocking this whole thing up, and nothing else.
This helped me so much!! I got phlegm out in the first try! I've been trying to cough it up for days now, and it's just so uncomfortable when it comes up close to my mouth but it's still too far away to cough it out and the natural reaction is to swallow it back in. Thank you so so so much Dr Michelle!!
I’m currently suffering from flu and have been having trouble breathing. I just did this exercise and 30 seconds later an ungodly amount of mucus came out of me. It sounds horrific but I have never been so grateful for a RUclips video
I searched this up because I figured this out on my own, but was worried if I had damaged myself. I was having phlegm in my lungs for a week and no matter how deep or hard I coughed it remained. It felt unreachable and it was annoyingly noticeable whenever I laughed. Out of frustration I did this technique on my own over the bathroom sink, I just breathed out as long as I could and to my surprise I felt the phlegm move. Then immediately with some light coughing it started coming out. I also tried curving and twisting my upper body and neck to either side with this technique then lightly coughing, thinking it would help by stretching out the lung. Not sure if it did that, but it worked for me. Now I'm so relieved and pretty much phlegm free. Glad to see this video sharing this technique, it needs millions of views. Why don't they just teach this everywhere??
Perhaps doctors would rather prescribe medications than to teach us natural ways to expel mucus. Just my theory! I've been to the doctor many times and they never hesitate to prescribe me meds. But then I found this video and I'm having more relief than I did with antibiotics! It's a miracle.
I've had really bad coughs for the past 3 days. I'd be puking a few minutes after I'd eat. I did this 4 times in a row and I don't know if I puked the phlegm out or just did it right but now I have less phlegm after days of coughs and pukes! Thank you!
I’ve done this technique a few times now, and each time I don’t expel much mucus, however I do notice that I’m breathing deeper and easier. Thank you so much this is brilliant.
This technique helped me clear the mucous in my lungs. I had been coughing for a couple of hours. I had used my inhalers and flutter valves and was struggling. I struggle every day due to asthma,COPD, PND, and GERD. I was desperate to stop and went on line and found you. Thank you. 🙏🏻💜
I been struggling to breathe for the past three months, took four different types of prescribed antibiotics and vitamins but I realized for the past few weeks I started breathing through my nose and out my mouth and every time something came out when I coughed and my lungs felt a little relieved. I tried this method today and already feel better then I have in awhile. Thank you!
I caught a flu and have been coughing constantly, literally non-stop with a lot of phlegm. After practising this breathing and huffing techniques, the coughing has subsided. Thanks so much. I feel like it literally saves my life from coughing a lung up.
@@michellephysio Hello. I work as a paramedic in a small province. Please answer me one question. If the sputum coughs up, but is swallowed, and not spat out, then maybe something bad is from this? Usually, it is easier for many women at work and at home to clear their throat and swallow phlegm, and many do it unconsciously. At school, girls also usually intentionally swallow phlegm and nasal contents with a runny nose, but as far as I understand, is it harmless?
@@refaelhaiman9356Not a health professional, but I think your stomach acids neutralize swallowed phlegm almost instantly. Phlegm is far, far more dangerous in the lungs than in the stomach.
Thank you Michelle.I had a persistent dry cough with cracking and bubbling in my lungs when breathing.With your technique I managed to cough out some phlegm and realised some moments later that my impulse to cough had gone away!Thank you.thank you Michelle!
@John Michael Tabvuma you're most welcome! Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm really so glad that I've been able to help you and I really do appreciate you taking the time to let me know, I'm most grateful indeed John. Wishing you all the best! 🙏
So many times I'd been hospitalized with pneumonia and all types of bronchial infections (with a mystery cough lasting on and off since 2009 due to weakened muscles from MG). I have met and been attended by more respiratory therapists than I could count, always having issues with coughs not being productive and ever lasting scratchy feeling. Not once had anyone ever brought this up..THANK YOU SO MUCH. will use this with my own clients now as well ...
I am seeing a respiratory specialist doctor ..... and all he said was "Better OUT than IN. Cough away!" Intercostal muscle strain later..... and I'm in living hell....needing to cough but in agony when doing it.
Thanks a lot Michelle. I was having this really heavy feeling on my chest and had great difficulty in breathing. I was having really low energy as well. Your method has helped me cough up all that phlegm a lot more efficiently. I feel a lot better after using this technique in the morning and at night on a daily basis. I cannot thank you enough for making a video on this. Glad that I found this video.
Hey just from one person to another you should check your blood pressure...respiratory-related fatigue is one of the most overlooked signs of blocked/collapsed/constricted arteries and/or COPD, which are both time bombs

Couldn’t breathe and was having a panic attack after I did this, after about 15 minutes it all came out and now I am completely empty and can breathe freely. Thank you so so much
Thank you so much for this tutori. I've been suffering from "whistling lungs" for the past couple of weeks and this technique has cleared some of the phlegm that built up. I breathe easier now too.
I'm currently suffering from cough and whenever I breathe out, I hear the mucus making a sound in my throat. This vid really helped me to bring up some of it, tysm!
This technique worked for me! I’m so grateful! I’ve been feeling concerned about my blood oxygen levels as I’m pregnant and my airways are blocked with mucus. After using this technique I checked my levels with my sp02 meter and I gained a point!!! First time in 5 days that I’ve gone up rather than down.
Thank you Michelle. I tried this technique after having a stubborn chesty cough for over a week. Removed more "material" in ten minutes than I have in several days. I'll continue as recommended. Cheers ❤️.
This really helped! I have a sinus infection that made me cough up a storm, and I’ve been staying up all night because my throat hurt so much, thank you so much!
Just viewed this after several sleepless nights coughing and bringing up mucus. Your video helped me , because I did exactly what you explained here, and I slept through the night for the first time in days . Thank you 👏🏽♥️
I’ve never been good about coughing up phlegm, it makes me gag and sometimes throw up. But I found your video and many other videos from others, yet yours was the only one that has helped. I’ve only been able to cough up a little bit phlegm, but it’s something and better than nothing! Going to keep using your techniques!! Thanks for sharing.
Living alone at 66 years of age with severe COPD is freighting enough without thinking I have Covid-19. This video has help me a lot so thank you so much. The most important thing is not to panic and run naked out the door.... Stay safe 🙏🏻
Years later and I have sent this to so many people. It was so helpful in my healing and continues to be such a compassionate memory. Thank you thank you thank you
@jamieeverything5686 you're very welcome! It's truly touching to know how the video has helped you and so many others over the years. I'm so glad you find this helpful. Your continued sharing of the video means a lot. Thank you so very much for the love and support - wish you all the best!🙏💖
Brilliant video thanks. I was taught this technique over 30 yrs back to clear anesthetic off my lungs post op. It's an extremely useful exercise that works.
I'm in the middle of diagnoses of Pulmonary issues like Apnea and COPD. This simple exercise has helped me tremendously while I wait for treatment. Thank you.
Wow. I've had a deep cough for years as I had undiagnosed Afib. During a Echo Cardiogram I needed to take a break with a coughing fit, and was apologizing to the technician. She just casually told me that it is common for people with Afib to have fluid in their lungs and trouble clearing them. I had no idea the two were related! Your video really showed me a very useful thing to do. Hopefully I can clear my lungs at home or in the car before going into public spaces where the coughing fits are so distressing for me and everyone around me!
I'm on vacation in Hawaii with a group of friends and caught a quick bug and i have phlegm in my chest and I couldn't enjoy my time here I missed hiking and other activities because I couldn't breath and I decided to search RUclips and found THIS I tried it and coughed it up and immediately I felt better and joined my friends THANK YOU so much for this video
You're a lifesaver!!! I have asthma and currently have a nasty chest infection. I've been struggling to breathe for the past few hours. This technique really helped shift some of the mucus into my airway which I was then able to cough up. My breathing is a little better. I will definitely be remembering this one 👍
Hey Tee Cele I’m so glad this helped you with some clearance - doing this and shifting chest secretions can reduce the likelihood of chest infections too. Take care & all the best!
I had extremely bad phelgm stuck in my lungs for the past 7 days. I would wake up out my sleep coughing like crazy. My nose would be congested so when I would wake up I would not be able to breath so the normal reaction would be to inhale the phlegm back in. This method is a life-saver!!!!! OMG it came out sooo easily with this method. Best explanation on RUclips. Period. !!!
I've felt like phlegm has lived at the back of my throat over 6 months bought many things to try and bring it out. The first try of this and I managed to clear a fair amount I now have hope I can shift it all. Thankyou so much x
Omg me tooo, it’s just constantly been there, except for me it’s been over 9 years, this didn’t help me tho so I’m starting to think that it might me here for-
Thank you Michelle. I’m pregnant and down with ugly flu. Didn’t sleep this night at all due to horrible cough . I did half breath and I’m able to breathe again . Lots of love
This is wonderful!! Thank You!! Asthmatic for 49 years. No one has ever taught me how to loosen and cough!!! This illness has been miserable and scary, (going on 3 weeks, 2 rounds of prednisone and antibiotics) has me homebound and without lasting relief with applications of postural drainage, percussion, breathing treatments and...etc. etc. After doing this 2 times I feel my lungs are the clearest they've been in weeks!! Thanks for being an advocate and teacher!! 🥰👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️🫁💪
@kathyschwartz6671 Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I'm thrilled to hear that the techniques are providing relief for your asthma. Consistent practice can indeed make a significant difference. Always consult with your healthcare provider, and I hope these exercises continue to bring you comfort and improved well-being. Stay well and take care! 🙏😊
Thank you for making this video available to everyone. I have stage 4 COPD, was just in the emergency room last week for a respiratory infection. 7 days on antibiotics and steroids and little improvement. I have a lot of phlegm but I’m having difficulty expectorating it. It’s so much work coughing without results. This helped tremendously. You calm professional manner was a big help too. Thank you.
@Rebecca Chapman pleasure to help and thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad to hear that the video on coughing and clearing phlegm was helpful to you. COPD can make it challenging to clear mucus, and I understand how frustrating it can be. Remember to continue following your healthcare professional's advice and treatment plan for COPD. Wishing you all the best in managing your condition. 🙏 ❤️
This is a godsend, I swear - I have asthma and have been dealing with a case of bronchitis for the last few days. I’ve been gagging and choking more often than I care to admit, and the fear of drowning in my mucous was very, very real. I started doing this yesterday, and I instantly felt relief; finally, I was able to shift phlegm which had been too deep to cough up with force alone. Thank you so, so much for what you do, this video has probably literally saved lives. Love from America ❤
@queenofdoomandgloom I'm so glad to hear that this video has provided you with relief! It's heartwarming to know that the techniques are helping you manage your asthma and bronchitis. Your kind words mean a lot to me. Take care, and best wishes for your health! ❤
Thank you so much. I’ve been dealing with chest congestion for the past few days and had no clue what to do because I’m not coughing. For about an hour it was coming all out.
This is much easier said than done especially when you’re asthmatic coughing and having trouble breathing. It does help me to always bring something to drink that is cold and a rescue inhaler and especially a phone in case of emergency or needing help. Doing deep breathing and holding it in 3-5 seconds at a time,🎉 several times a day also helps open up the lung. This is great advice especially in medical times as we’re all currently experiencing.
I have infection in my chest and haven’t been able to cough much anything up but could feel it’s there! First time I tried this it worked! I’m amazed. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much I’ve been really stuck almost throwing up at times for the past 2 days. You’ve really saved me there, I got a lot shifted straight away 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you! I’ve been suffering from phlegm buildup for the past two days, and this exercise really helped to clear my throat of mucus. I’m following your advice of doing this once in the morning and once at night, and it is working like a charm. Now I can go to work with less discomfort!
Thank you so much for this technique, it worked instantly! I'm recovering from Covid so it has been a slow process getting rid of all of this Phlegm in my throat/lungs. Very confident I'll get back to normal very soon using this technique!
Thank you a lot ma'am. I'm just 15...It's been a week I got phlegm. This steps are help me to remove the phlegm. And also my mom said to drink milk and hot water mix with lemon and honey.... Now I'm cure and no more pain in my throat and chest 😘😘💜💜
Thank you so much, how very kind of you to share. So much improvement for me. I have done the exercises twice so far. I am feeling the congestion moving out of my lungs. I am recovering from C19.
@Jennifer Mitchell you're welcome - wonderful news! Thanks so much for your feedback Jennifer! It's great to read that you are making such quick progress. All the best to you and enjoy every progress you're making. Happy holidays! ❤️🌺
THANK YOU! I had woke up this morning to find that my throat was full of mucus (quite literally). It was restricting my breathing. I tried this with other techniques and now I can speak and breathe.
WOW as an ex smoker I thought I was the expert on coughing. Who would have thought someone could teach me to cough more effectively. This is a great technique. I have had an awful chest infection and this is really making me feel better and to breath easier. THANKS
@Simon inSweden my pleasure to help! Glad to hear that the video was helpful to you! It's always great to learn new techniques to improve our health and wellbeing. Thanks for taking the time to comment - all the best! 🙏
I have a cough for over 6 months now but my doctor keep saying it's cough allergy and one time i have asthma attack but i feel so much better outside then inside the house so don't get scared you have COVID just stay safe outside
This is great, I've got this tickling sensation in my throat that just won't go away, no matter how much I cough, so my throat is very sore. Earlier this day it occurred to me to squeeze my torso from my lower ribs with my hands and got rid of quite a lot of phlegm. I'll try this excercise next time. Thanks Michelle!
I have had bad allergies this year and I live in a very humid environment. I've been getting bronchitis more and more often. I'll go to the doctor take medicine but the cough persists for weeks and this feeling of having little breath feeling light headed over whelms me. Your coughing technique is helping me but the thing that won't clear is feeling like deep in my lungs very sticky. I don't smoke cigarettes.
Me too, l hv been coughing for 4 mths n having asthma. I hv been seen so many different dr also not improve n went to see specialist n dr said i got allergies hv cause me to hv a acid reflux, cough with phlegms, itchy eyes n throat. Now i am under medications. Now i need to use Turbuhale 160 dose spray for my mouth, Avamys nasal for my nose spray n Acetylcystein sandoz 600mg 10 tablets for my phlegms.
Same here. I've had bronchitis twice and my doctor gave me meds both times I even had a chest x-ray and still she doesn't see a problem. The hard to breathe when it's too much in my lungs is really getting to me now. It's been goin on since August and I never had this problem before 😩
@@NatashaTaylor101 hey can you please help me even I am facing the same issue . coughing up phlegm from two months used antibiotics also but they are giving temporary relief.pulmonologist prescribed to use inhaler using it from almost 22 days then it got cured but when I am exposed to rain on 22nd day agian cough with phlegm started. Doctor want me to use antibiotics again..even in chest xray I didn't found anything. Don't know what it is ...please help me
oh thank god for you! You are amazing, this is so helpful I never knew about this. I coughed up so much phlegm, I have a bad cough from possible covid but still waiting for test results, I had some scary breathing problem and couldn't sleep for an entire day but I now have learned how to control it, I also use a heating pad and drink hot water with menthol lozenges.
Oh my goodness I'm really struggling with phlegm on the chest and I just tried this and it worked! My chest doesn't feel as heavy and I was able to cough it up and clear a bit! Thanks so much!❤
If its from thick mucus from the nose then what I do is tilt back my head then try to snore, then the fluctuating air will let that phlegm slide down your throat.
guys once the mucus is gathered in the central airway how do you cough it out? it doesnt really come out instead it stuck onto my throat and i had to take it back, wasting the whole procedure T__T
This helped tremendously bc I’ve had “crunchy” coughs, the ones that signify that your cold is almost over and you’re just clearing out at this point, and it’s been hard to breathe without phlegm crackling in my trachea
When I get an infection I’ll cough phlegm for 7-10 days straight. This technique is good for getting rid of a lot of mucus at once so I’m not constantly getting up to spit. I’m currently on day 3 of a new one. Pray for me!
You have no idea how much you have helped me For years i have heard of the huff cough and thought i was doing it correctly Oh my goodness you changed my life Now i know how to get rid of Phlegm And this is the clarity step by step will be sharing this with thousands and thousand of people Thank you 🙏🏼
@MariaGarcia-ii9km you're most welcome! I'm really touched to hear that my video has made such a positive impact on your life. Thank you for your kind words, and I'm glad you found the step-by-step guide helpful. Wishing you the best on your journey to better health! 🙏🏼
Do anyone constant spit out mucus a little everytime?! Been trying to cough up more but nothing cant cough it out. Also funny noise when breathing cos of mucus. its been months in my throats... didnt wanna go doctors due coronavirus!
THIS WORKS! Thank you very much for your clear instructions, Michelle. Your exercise does exactly what you said. I can now clear my chest without loads of useless and unproductive coughing. I am sure you are literally a life-saver for so many people. May God bless you and keep giving you the energy to do your good work. Philip ☺, from cold and foggy London.

Eating kids created mucous
Whenever it come out my eyes, nose, and ears all tingle. It’s probably because all of the mucus is connected
...it worked for me too on the first attempt!! Thank u...
I have the same issue I though I was the only “ stupid “ that don’t know how to cough and get the phlegm out 😞
Coughing phlegm is euphoric because you can taste the air of phlegm coming up

I'm currently suffering from cough and whenever I breathe out, I hear the mucus making a sound in my throat. This vid really helped me to bring up some of it, tysm!
@turpasauna My pleasure - thanks so much for sharing and I'm so glad to know this helped you.❤️
This technique worked for me! I’m so grateful! I’ve been feeling concerned about my blood oxygen levels as I’m pregnant and my airways are blocked with mucus. After using this technique I checked my levels with my sp02 meter and I gained a point!!! First time in 5 days that I’ve gone up rather than down.
Glad this helps you Robbie - hoping for your safe delivery! 🙏
Thank you Michelle. I tried this technique after having a stubborn chesty cough for over a week. Removed more "material" in ten minutes than I have in several days. I'll continue as recommended. Cheers ❤️.
This really helped! I have a sinus infection that made me cough up a storm, and I’ve been staying up all night because my throat hurt so much, thank you so much!
@Saxon Republic my pleasure! I’m glad this helps you! All the best💓
Try the lemon with honey in warm water
I had alot of mucus stuck on my airway but thanks to this video its cleared alot of the croakiness away. Thankyou
Just viewed this after several sleepless nights coughing and bringing up mucus. Your video helped me , because I did exactly what you explained here, and I slept through the night for the first time in days . Thank you 👏🏽♥️
I’ve never been good about coughing up phlegm, it makes me gag and sometimes throw up. But I found your video and many other videos from others, yet yours was the only one that has helped. I’ve only been able to cough up a little bit phlegm, but it’s something and better than nothing! Going to keep using your techniques!! Thanks for sharing.
@yesenia serrato my pleasure! Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, really happy this helped a little bit! All the best 🙏 ❤️
Living alone at 66 years of age with severe COPD is freighting enough without thinking I have Covid-19. This video has help me a lot so thank you so much. The most important thing is not to panic and run naked out the door.... Stay safe 🙏🏻
So glad this helps you, take care & warm wishes
Years later and I have sent this to so many people. It was so helpful in my healing and continues to be such a compassionate memory. Thank you thank you thank you
@jamieeverything5686 you're very welcome! It's truly touching to know how the video has helped you and so many others over the years. I'm so glad you find this helpful. Your continued sharing of the video means a lot. Thank you so very much for the love and support - wish you all the best!🙏💖
Worked for me. Will do it again later.
Much better than just coughing hard with nothing coming out.
Thank you.
Brilliant video thanks.
I was taught this technique over 30 yrs back to clear anesthetic off my lungs post op. It's an extremely useful exercise that works.
I accidentally moaned.
:DDDDDD
XDDDDD
HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA
NAH, BIH YOU JUST UNDID ALL MY DEEP BREATHS MAKING ME LAUGH😭😭😂💀💀💀
Lol
I'm in the middle of diagnoses of Pulmonary issues like Apnea and COPD. This simple exercise has helped me tremendously while I wait for treatment. Thank you.
I'm so glad this helps you Glen - wishing you all the best for your recovery! 🙏
I was hesitant at first, but continuing the last exhale is a game changer. I could feel the phlegm getting out of my lungs. I’m 68.
omg ive been suffering for the whole day and i got out my phlegm the FIRST TRY THANK YOU SOOOSO MUCH
!!!!
@sunoosmintchoco my pleasure - happy I could be of help! Thanks for taking the time to comment. ❤️
This worked so good for me. I have a lot of mucus in my chest and I cough up alot when I do this method. Thank you so much
@Gianna you're most welcome - glad this worked for you!❤️
Wow. I've had a deep cough for years as I had undiagnosed Afib. During a Echo Cardiogram I needed to take a break with a coughing fit, and was apologizing to the technician. She just casually told me that it is common for people with Afib to have fluid in their lungs and trouble clearing them. I had no idea the two were related! Your video really showed me a very useful thing to do. Hopefully I can clear my lungs at home or in the car before going into public spaces where the coughing fits are so distressing for me and everyone around me!
Having symptoms of covid 19 ... this really helped me! Thank you!
What kind of symptoms?
@@nazcookz9948 headache, fatigue, cough, and nasal congestion.
Chocolate Idol ok thank you I’ve been curious what most people’s symptoms are
Same
@@chocolateidol9040 are you OK now? Hope you are.
I'm on vacation in Hawaii with a group of friends and caught a quick bug and i have phlegm in my chest and I couldn't enjoy my time here I missed hiking and other activities because I couldn't breath and I decided to search RUclips and found THIS I tried it and coughed it up and immediately I felt better and joined my friends THANK YOU so much for this video
@M M my pleasure. I'm sorry to hear about what happened but I'm so glad this helped you. Thanks so much for letting me know. All the best!🙏
You're a lifesaver!!! I have asthma and currently have a nasty chest infection. I've been struggling to breathe for the past few hours. This technique really helped shift some of the mucus into my airway which I was then able to cough up. My breathing is a little better. I will definitely be remembering this one 👍
Hey Tee Cele I’m so glad this helped you with some clearance - doing this and shifting chest secretions can reduce the likelihood of chest infections too. Take care & all the best!
@@michellephysio That's really good to know. And thanks again 👍
Same bro
I had extremely bad phelgm stuck in my lungs for the past 7 days. I would wake up out my sleep coughing like crazy. My nose would be congested so when I would wake up I would not be able to breath so the normal reaction would be to inhale the phlegm back in. This method is a life-saver!!!!! OMG it came out sooo easily with this method. Best explanation on RUclips. Period. !!!
I've felt like phlegm has lived at the back of my throat over 6 months bought many things to try and bring it out. The first try of this and I managed to clear a fair amount I now have hope I can shift it all. Thankyou so much x
Omg me tooo, it’s just constantly been there, except for me it’s been over 9 years, this didn’t help me tho so I’m starting to think that it might me here for-
Thank you Michelle.
I’m pregnant and down with ugly flu. Didn’t sleep this night at all due to horrible cough . I did half breath and I’m able to breathe again . Lots of love
This is wonderful!! Thank You!! Asthmatic for 49 years. No one has ever taught me how to loosen and cough!!! This illness has been miserable and scary, (going on 3 weeks, 2 rounds of prednisone and antibiotics) has me homebound and without lasting relief with applications of postural drainage, percussion, breathing treatments and...etc. etc. After doing this 2 times I feel my lungs are the clearest they've been in weeks!! Thanks for being an advocate and teacher!! 🥰👍👏👏👏👏👏❤️🫁💪
@kathyschwartz6671 Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I'm thrilled to hear that the techniques are providing relief for your asthma. Consistent practice can indeed make a significant difference. Always consult with your healthcare provider, and I hope these exercises continue to bring you comfort and improved well-being. Stay well and take care! 🙏😊
I’m currently sick so this helped a lot! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video available to everyone. I have stage 4 COPD, was just in the emergency room last week for a respiratory infection. 7 days on antibiotics and steroids and little improvement. I have a lot of phlegm but I’m having difficulty expectorating it. It’s so much work coughing without results. This helped tremendously. You calm professional manner was a big help too. Thank you.
@Rebecca Chapman pleasure to help and thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad to hear that the video on coughing and clearing phlegm was helpful to you. COPD can make it challenging to clear mucus, and I understand how frustrating it can be. Remember to continue following your healthcare professional's advice and treatment plan for COPD. Wishing you all the best in managing your condition. 🙏 ❤️
This is a godsend, I swear - I have asthma and have been dealing with a case of bronchitis for the last few days. I’ve been gagging and choking more often than I care to admit, and the fear of drowning in my mucous was very, very real. I started doing this yesterday, and I instantly felt relief; finally, I was able to shift phlegm which had been too deep to cough up with force alone. Thank you so, so much for what you do, this video has probably literally saved lives. Love from America ❤
@queenofdoomandgloom I'm so glad to hear that this video has provided you with relief! It's heartwarming to know that the techniques are helping you manage your asthma and bronchitis. Your kind words mean a lot to me. Take care, and best wishes for your health! ❤
Thank you so much. I’ve been dealing with chest congestion for the past few days and had no clue what to do because I’m not coughing. For about an hour it was coming all out.
This is much easier said than done especially when you’re asthmatic coughing and having trouble breathing.
It does help me to always bring something to drink that is cold and a rescue inhaler and especially a phone in case of emergency or needing help.
Doing deep breathing and holding it in 3-5 seconds at a time,🎉 several times a day also helps open up the lung.
This is great advice especially in medical times as we’re all currently experiencing.
First time I was able to clear my airways and thank you
This actually worked thanks so much ur my savior i coughed like that the whole night and now i can finally relax
thank you so much it was so annoying having all that mucus and phlegm stuck in my chest it barely even let me breathe or enjoy my day.
I have infection in my chest and haven’t been able to cough much anything up but could feel it’s there! First time I tried this it worked! I’m amazed. Thank you so much.
@orucheer you're most welcome! I'm so glad the technique helped you. Thanks for taking the time to comment and wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thank you so much I’ve been really stuck almost throwing up at times for the past 2 days. You’ve really saved me there, I got a lot shifted straight away 🙏🏼❤️
@Dawn Parke my pleasure! So glad to read this! Thanks so much for the feedback, really happy this helped! ❤️
Thank you! I’ve been suffering from phlegm buildup for the past two days, and this exercise really helped to clear my throat of mucus. I’m following your advice of doing this once in the morning and once at night, and it is working like a charm. Now I can go to work with less discomfort!
Thank you so much for this technique, it worked instantly! I'm recovering from Covid so it has been a slow process getting rid of all of this Phlegm in my throat/lungs. Very confident I'll get back to normal very soon using this technique!
@wade18 my pleasure, thank you so much for commenting - wishing you all the best for your recovery! 🙏
I know you posted this a month ago, but I hope you're doing much better.
Did it help? I'm recovering from COVID and have really bad mucus and shortness of breath
Thank you a lot ma'am. I'm just 15...It's been a week I got phlegm. This steps are help me to remove the phlegm. And also my mom said to drink milk and hot water mix with lemon and honey.... Now I'm cure and no more pain in my throat and chest 😘😘💜💜
@Veramurti my pleasure indeed - thanks so much for sharing and I'm so glad to hear you're ccure❤️
I almost died doing this , but really help
😂
Now..I don't think I'll do it
Looooool
LMAO! Why??
Thank you so much, how very kind of you to share. So much improvement for me. I have done the exercises twice so far. I am feeling the congestion moving out of my lungs. I am recovering from C19.
@Jennifer Mitchell you're welcome - wonderful news! Thanks so much for your feedback Jennifer! It's great to read that you are making such quick progress. All the best to you and enjoy every progress you're making. Happy holidays! ❤️🌺
Omg..it works so well..Thank you so much for helping us manage the phelgm during Covid ❤️...You are a life saver
My pleasure indeed Nayana 🙏
THANK YOU! I had woke up this morning to find that my throat was full of mucus (quite literally). It was restricting my breathing. I tried this with other techniques and now I can speak and breathe.
Thanks you so much I’ve had Phlegm in my throat for so many months and I had to constantly clear it but this got it out this really helped
WOW as an ex smoker I thought I was the expert on coughing. Who would have thought someone could teach me to cough more effectively. This is a great technique. I have had an awful chest infection and this is really making me feel better and to breath easier.
THANKS
@Simon inSweden my pleasure to help! Glad to hear that the video was helpful to you! It's always great to learn new techniques to improve our health and wellbeing. Thanks for taking the time to comment - all the best! 🙏
Thanks so much for this information! I am having allergy troubles and this will be so helpful! Blessings
My pleasure Karen
learning to do this when I had bronchitis and pneumonia made a huge difference, it really works.
@Karolina Walichiewicz I'm glad this helps -wishing you well! 🙏
The little blooper at the end was cute. 😂 Thanks for the info!
It was hard but it worked as i continued this method. Thank you, you may have saved my life.

I had gallbladder surgery and this video really helped me get fluid out of my lungs with less pain.
I’ve been coughing and with my anxiety I always have the feeling I have covid all I have is a runny nose and a cough
Same, it doesn’t feel good😞
@@x2kids109 same my throat is dry then im coughing and i had a flu shot
I have a cough for over 6 months now but my doctor keep saying it's cough allergy and one time i have asthma attack but i feel so much better outside then inside the house so don't get scared you have COVID just stay safe outside
This is great, I've got this tickling sensation in my throat that just won't go away, no matter how much I cough, so my throat is very sore. Earlier this day it occurred to me to squeeze my torso from my lower ribs with my hands and got rid of quite a lot of phlegm. I'll try this excercise next time. Thanks Michelle!
I have had bad allergies this year and I live in a very humid environment. I've been getting bronchitis more and more often.
I'll go to the doctor take medicine but the cough persists for weeks and this feeling of having little breath feeling light headed over whelms me.
Your coughing technique is helping me but the thing that won't clear is feeling like deep in my lungs very sticky.
I don't smoke cigarettes.
Me too, l hv been coughing for 4 mths n having asthma. I hv been seen so many different dr also not improve n went to see specialist n dr said i got allergies hv cause me to hv a acid reflux, cough with phlegms, itchy eyes n throat. Now i am under medications. Now i need to use Turbuhale 160 dose spray for my mouth, Avamys nasal for my nose spray n Acetylcystein sandoz 600mg 10 tablets for my phlegms.
Same here. I've had bronchitis twice and my doctor gave me meds both times I even had a chest x-ray and still she doesn't see a problem. The hard to breathe when it's too much in my lungs is really getting to me now. It's been goin on since August and I never had this problem before 😩
@@NatashaTaylor101 same with me rn 😂😂😭😭😭
@@NatashaTaylor101 hey can you please help me even I am facing the same issue . coughing up phlegm from two months used antibiotics also but they are giving temporary relief.pulmonologist prescribed to use inhaler using it from almost 22 days then it got cured but when I am exposed to rain on 22nd day agian cough with phlegm started. Doctor want me to use antibiotics again..even in chest xray I didn't found anything. Don't know what it is ...please help me
@@tej8718 did you get help for your issue?
I currently have the flu and just did this technique instinctively seconds before finding this video, good to see i did the right thing 😄 it helped!!
oh thank god for you! You are amazing, this is so helpful I never knew about this. I coughed up so much phlegm, I have a bad cough from possible covid but still waiting for test results, I had some scary breathing problem and couldn't sleep for an entire day but I now have learned how to control it, I also use a heating pad and drink hot water with menthol lozenges.
Oh my goodness I'm really struggling with phlegm on the chest and I just tried this and it worked! My chest doesn't feel as heavy and I was able to cough it up and clear a bit! Thanks so much!❤
@carrieetherton2952 you're welcome! Many thanks - I really do appreciate your feedback and support. So glad this helps you! 💓
Anyone else just have it stuck in the back their throat and keep choking on it constantly and it won’t go away?
If its from thick mucus from the nose then what I do is tilt back my head then try to snore, then the fluctuating air will let that phlegm slide down your throat.
I love this human here, you have a great smile and you are enthusiastic in your career and thanks for the video!!
You're amazing ❤️ thanks for the beautiful words Be, much appreciated. ❤️🌺
guys once the mucus is gathered in the central airway how do you cough it out? it doesnt really come out instead it stuck onto my throat and i had to take it back, wasting the whole procedure T__T
I have the same problem did you find a solution?
Sitting here w a chest full of phlegm and doing this while watching and it's helping already. Always helpful ma'am and also lovely ponytail.
Wonderful video Michelle on 'How to cough and clear Phlegm'. A simple technique like that can be a life saver. Cheers, Kate
Glad it's helpful Kate!
This helped tremendously bc I’ve had “crunchy” coughs, the ones that signify that your cold is almost over and you’re just clearing out at this point, and it’s been hard to breathe without phlegm crackling in my trachea
Thanks. Very helpful, all those Drs. might have mentioned this at some point. Guess they missed that day in class.
Glad it was helpful!
😂🤣
When I get an infection I’ll cough phlegm for 7-10 days straight. This technique is good for getting rid of a lot of mucus at once so I’m not constantly getting up to spit. I’m currently on day 3 of a new one. Pray for me!
Thank you! Such a great relief to know I have more control of my illness!!
Wow in less than 30 of doing this u coughed up a lump of mucus that’s has been rattling my chest for a few days (I have the flu)…. Thank you 🙏🏾
Wow, it worked! You're amazing. Thank you.
Yes, it works! I coughed up twice after the 1st time doing this! Thank you!
You’re a huge help, thank you!
You have no idea how much you have helped me
For years i have heard of the huff cough and thought i was doing it correctly
Oh my goodness you changed my life
Now i know how to get rid of
Phlegm
And this is the clarity step by step will be sharing this with thousands and thousand of people
Thank you 🙏🏼

Do anyone constant spit out mucus a little everytime?! Been trying to cough up more but nothing cant cough it out. Also funny noise when breathing cos of mucus. its been months in my throats... didnt wanna go doctors due coronavirus!
I was near death with coronavirus, I’m alive after 3 months. God is powerful.
Ye

Same. But im also dealing with gerd
Sinus infection.
THIS WORKS! Thank you very much for your clear instructions, Michelle.
Your exercise does exactly what you said. I can now clear my chest without loads of useless and unproductive coughing.
I am sure you are literally a life-saver for so many people.
May God bless you and keep giving you the energy to do your good work. Philip ☺, from cold and foggy London.
