Cough for at least 6 weeks after a cold - done this and instantly felt better and my wheezing is much better. Started googling because it’s driving me bananas. Thanks for this video I’m feeling more comfortable. I know it will go away by itself but boy my body is tired of this cough.
Me too. This's why I'm here.
Same here! My lungs get caked with thick mucus after a cold & it lasts for weeks.....sometimes an exhausting all night cough, with not much being expelled. So I use ayurvedic mucosal thinners to ease out the stuff. Breathing exercises help a lot & so does this huff cough technique.
Going through this now.
I have to send the biggest thank you. My 9 year old has COVID and was panicking when she felt thick mucus in her throat. She was terrified trying to cough it up would block her airways and genuinely scared (of course! We’ve only heard of the seriousness of COVID for 2+ years!).
She had a bath and tried the technique and it helped immensely. For her it was easier to release it by blowing her nose.
This morning she woke up panicked again and when I reminded her of the technique she remembered the steps on her own and felt much better physically and mentally after a few huffs.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!! ❤
Thank you so very pleased it helped. Sending our very best to you and your daughter from the Physio channel team
Bless her heart...I know that panic feeling of not being able to breathe when the mucus hits the throat. I am 60 and my husband has to calm me, and after I am done gagging, coughing and wheezing I sit and cry! I currently have a cold or the local crud, so will be trying this....if a 9 year old can do it, so can I!
Thank you for sharing this! Over the years, I've had occasions where the mucus gets so bad, I start to cough it and it gets stuck in my throat, and then I feel like I'm literally drowning in it.
Your comment gives me hope that I'll be able to actually cough it out, and maybe keep it from getting so severe if I routinely try this huff cough next time I'm sick. :)
@@way-cuteme too!!! I just posted the same thing! I feel like I'm drowning! It happens to me a lot even without trying this breathing exercise. What have you been diagnosed with? I was recently diagnosed with bronchiectasis. But I've had these issues for about a decade. I can't even begin to tell you how many Drs I've seen... What about you?!?
Aww bless her...I hope she made a quick recovery. ❤
Doing this after a steamy shower helps loosen it up even more
I have been sick for 2 week, taking all the over the counter meds, even prescribed antibiotics and steroids, but this is the only thing that has given me any releif. Going to share with everyone i know, whether they are sick or not!
I recently had a very bad cough and had difficulty breathing. I found this video and it has been a life saver! Some very nasty stuff was expelled. I would also suggest to add moderate chest thumping and have some throat soothing drops on hand. 4 days later, I don’t sound like I chained smoked 4 packs of cigarettes lol
Me too but it happens in morning
Same here
Quit killing yourself
This is greatest self help upload of all time
Thank you!
I tried it just now and thank you! 😭 Been coughing incessantly and it always felt there's something stuck in my throat and chest. I finally expelled a lot with this technique huhu!
Suddenly I have lots of mucus when I cough and really sick. I found your video and tried it just now for three times🙈. Can't believe how much mucus it came out during the last try. My airway is much better now and clear as it nothing happens. Thank you so much 💓 great video
Omg, this is spot on. No more cough pains for me. Should have watched this sooner
Wow this worked! 36 weeks pregnant here, I’m much better now😭😭💯❤️
Oh man thank you so much for this. I'm on the tail end of a bad cold right now and this is like magic
Glad I could help!
Who else almost vomited
i actually did lol
Lmfao
Lol I actually did
Im trying too:( duels are Monday and Ill be dammed if I can’t wrestle
Ahh made me wretch and was quite painful x
This worked really well.
After the third huff, I released all the mucus into a bucket. Thanks!
For real?
@@loyallimon Worked for me. If you're experiencing issues, give it a try. Preferably when nobody is around!
Thank you, got sick about a week ago and my phlegm build up was crazy, really needed that
Gotta thank you, I've never coughed up that much phlegm in my life
Thank you so much!!!, I've been coughing all night and I'm finally going to be able to sleep now!!
Thank you! This worked even better after I drank a bottle of water🥰
Wow this actually makes my coughing hurt less, thank you!!!
Oh my gosh, this actually worked and i can breathe so much more clearly, before I tried this, I'd cough constantly trying to force the phlegm out causing pain to my throat and chest cavity and it would just rattle the phlegm and it would still be stuck in my chest and throat, had I seen this video earlier I would've saved myself from the pain and discomfort , I back this technique even though it does make us look and sound a bit goofy 🤣 I can definitely breathe better so it's worth it, thankyou 🌟
Brilliant, so pleased it helped you. Let others know about it too if you think it can help!
Works like a charm, it’s such an interesting sensation when it happens. Almost feels like I’m scooping all the phlegm with a spoon lol
Oh my goodness! It worked! Thank you man you are doing a great service. God bless.
You guys are the Goats. Just saved my life. God bless. I couldn’t breathe until this exercise.
I've done this for 2 days & it has been amazing! I was taking Mucinex DM for almost a week & nothing.... did this the 1st time and BLAMMO and then the next night I did it again and it felt.like 10lbs was lifted! And boy did the mucus sts
Arted to really come up. Thank you for this trick.
Omg thank u I have the flu and I couldn’t sleep at all last night this really works 😊
Thank you for clearing that up
You should do this by kneeling on something raised a couple of inches, then lower your chest down as close to the floor as possible so your inverted.
The gravitational pull will help.
I would take this position well before starting to get mucus moving in the direction of expulsion first.
My mum taught me this years ago as she was an asthmatic, it really works well.
Amazing Technic!!! Thank you so much. May God Bless you for sharing this with us!!!❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for the video. I was having sputum in my lower airways and had breathing difficulty. A thought came to my mind to search RUclips and I came across this video. I tried it and the result is amazing. Now I feel light and free in my chest. You made my day. I would highly highly recommend anyone having problems with cough, breathing difficulty due to sputum to try this method.
So pleased it helped you Atul. Sending our best wishes from the thephysiochannel team.
I've heard this from a Pinoy nurse and tried and very effective for me😊
I'm currently out of town at a work meeting (also recovering from a sinus infection& couldn't sleep cause my chest was wheezing. Somehow YT led me here, and I gotta say im coughing up all that yucky stuff with ease! Thank you!
Knowledge is power. Thanks!
I tried it & it works! Thanks a lot! 🙏
Dude you’re amazing thank you so much!
This helped so much, when I tried this first I tried breathing out from my gut like Normal but try to breath out from your chest, it does wonders!
Glad it helped!
Your technique works great, I have cough for many days now and it is releasing very slowly and I used to get cough attack out of control.. But now after seeing your video, I tried it and it works really well and I bless you from my heart you are like God to me as your technique has relieved me from this torture phase of cough.
Same here! I also use ayurvedic mucosal thinners to ease out the stuff, apart from doing some pranayama.
@Benjamin D'souza where do you buy it?
@@Plove93 I'm from Goa, India, so I consulted an ayurvedic doctor who prescribed the meds & I get them from the ayurvedic pharmacy.
Thanks for the vid! Certainly worked for me.👍🏻😊
Been struggling getting a handle on my chest congestion before it gets worse. I had a good laugh after doing this technique because of how quickly it happened. (For context, I had hot soup and tea before doing it) Thank you!
THANKS MAN !! You are such a God for me... i suffer from breathing problem & only relaxed by antiallergy medicine...but this exercise tactics help me lot...
Love From India Sir
I'm asthmatic since childhood and been doing this until now to excrete phlegm. Thanks for the affirmation.
Instructions not clear I cough up a lung. Seriously took slot of mucus out thank you so much
I feel much better after just Trying this technique once 😮 thanks
I hope it works... I quit smoking cold turkey and I am in hell, but there’s no way I turn back. I just can’t sleep, only in weird positions, any laying down causes immediate cough-attack... I’ll try this, thank you 🤞👍
As a musician this was super helpful to clear My chest for my upper range
Thank you. Hubby is recovering at home after being in hospital for pneumonia. Physio had shown him a huff, but no where near as effective as yours. Only slightly different, but boy does it shift a whole load more.
Pleased it helped - sending our best from the team
1st attempt and removed deep sputum. Less coughing and clearer lungs.
-Thanks gentlemen.
Brilliant thank you for commenting
Thank you this is very very helpful you saved me sir thanks a lot. God bless you
My son has asthma & has it under control with meds. We went to my family Christmas party & someone had a bad cold ( I wish she would have been kind to wear a mask) my son got it. He told me he is not coughing b/c of the asthma but the phlegm in his lungs. Just do not want to irritate his lungs. We will try this. Thank you.
I hope it helped, thank you the message
@@ThePhysioChannel We did, but we did it too many times & it made him dizzy so we stopped. This idea makes sense cause I guess you are using your diaphragm to get deep down into the bottom of the lungs.
I thank you for the tips you gave, God has definitely guided me to your video, may God always be with you
You are so welcome
Thanks, this method actually worked for me. I watched the video and was huffing for a few minutes with no results, then out of nowhere 🤮
I'm so thankful for your video, helped me expel this nasty mucus. Thank you very much. God bless💕
You are so welcome
Thank you so much you really help me,god bless you 👍
I think you guys just saved my life. It felt like I was suffocating.
Very pleased to read we helped you!
Recommendation: go to the bathroom before doing this. And preferably wait to do this at least an hour or two after eating. This exercise may cause bronchospasm which I didn’t find out until I read the comments after hacking my lungs out- so if you have asthma definitely use your inhaler BEFORE doing this- like at least 30min to let it really work. Cause god. I was trying to deal with my lungs hurting from inhaling smoke at a campfire- and now I have a whole new issue.
Also if you have acid reflux/gerd, I don’t recommend this.
This worked so well, prior to using this technique, I finally coughed out a lot of mucus
Did this cleared me out! I saved and downloaded
woa what, why did i not know about this before! this relieves so much discomfort
I got a little light headed after doing this, but I think I got the last of it out. Thanks a lot for your help. God bless.
Thank you I am glad it helped you. Sending our best from the channel team.
thank your very much it really give me healing. I was i having to much mucus in my throat and in first attempt it was hard while doing repeated i take to much mucus from my throat thank you so much. you made may day.
Yes, this! Ty!
Thank you so much for this and cutting right to the point.
I am disappointed that doctors and even my respiratory specialist hasn’t told me about this method. I’ve had debilitating chronic bronchitis since October having to take prednisolone and some antibiotics and I no sooner start to feel a bit better and stop the pred. only for my bronchitis to flare up again. I feel so unwell when I have this - fevers, swollen glands, headaches and I googled how to remove mucus from the chest and came upon a suggestion to ‘huff cough’ to expel the mucus and your valuable video!
Thank you for your note. It was a great pleasure to know we could help you.
I didn’t believe it until I tried. Thank you
Worked so well thank you!
You're welcome!
Dudeee! This instantly got it out. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Definitely worked ❤
Honestly I thought this video was silly but I read all the comments and was like "ok internet I'll give it a try" and almost instantly coughed it up. That is just so crazy that I never knew to do this
This is a big help. I am coughing and can't sleep
Wow thanks I tried and it worked.
This worked but holy schinkkes I dry heaved alot! Lots of mucus came up and will continue to try this. I have covid.. and the mucus buildup in my throat is insane
thank you very much...very useful
Incredibly effective, thanks!
I rarely interact to any video. But your video really save me. I’ll drop you a like and comment.may god bless you ❤
Thank you so pleased it helped
Interesting technique
Your English accent is difficult to comprehend, but thanks for sharing, it's a life savor especially having emphysema, COPD and pulmonary fibrosis.
Are you stupid he couldn’t of spoke more clear if he tried🤣
This vdo is highly recommended. It worked very well.
Thank you really pleased it has helped
Ty it worked wonders
Life saver
No no very good upload 💯👍
Just what I needed
Thank you.. You're blessed..
it is very difficult for me to expel phlegm for TB lung sample test.
thanks to this video, I was able to do it
Glad it was helpful!
Omg, helped immediately.
youre a savior man
What an idea sirji
I grew up with asthma and discovered this when I was a late teenager. It works fantastically. You can get a little more out of it by doing this on your hands and knees (phlegm tends to settle on your back from reclining all day... especially when sick) and if you really wanna go pro, I'll tell you when my lungs started to thank me.
Incorporate headstands (or inversion) into your routine or workouts. (I don't recommend huffing as hard when inverted. Especially when you are doing a headstand, the huff can make your core unstable).
Headstands are part of my yoga routine, and if I ever feel a little tingle in my lungs, I'll do a few deep breaths and semi-huffs while upside down, and if I really mean business, I'll do it in a steam room.
Headstands in a steam room, that does sound like a good video for us to make. Thank you for commenting and supporting us. All the best to you.
Thanks it worked 👍
Omg man! I’ve had mucus for like the past year in my chest and no matter how hard I tried to hock it out I could not!
It was frustrating as I sing and everyday my vocals would change depending on how much I used them because the phlegm would eventually rise up.
I’ve been doing this for like 2 hours now lmao and it’s been so much mucus coming out it’s insane!
But I can feel that it’s coming from that part of my chest I couldn’t reach.
I think what really helped was those big inhales into your lungs as it opened up the area to release the phlegm.
My favorite way was to do the initial small breaths then big breaths, then the huff cough.
Once you huff cough 2-3 times you should feel it building up, now the key is to slowly inhale a deep breathe through your nose to not disturb the mucus much, then when your lungs are full and the passageway opens try and cough from the center of your chest.
I’ve done it about 6-8 times already and I can feel relief. Less and less of that nasty noise when I huff now too.
Gonna try this all day and give it a break tomorrow because my throat is getting soar haha
But it feels so good to finally start relieving some of this chest congestion
Also continuously blowing the mucus out of your nostrils as your doing this so it doesn’t go down your throat is really crucial.
I’ve been releasing so much mucus the past 3 days but not from this certain part of my chest.
This is the technique y’all!
Omg ive had a chest infection and THIS! It helped me clear my chest and cough up summit gnarly 😂❤
This helps thank you
Thanks a tonnn Doctor, After having midnight wheezing n coughing, happened to click this video n immediately started doing this huff cough tech, really helped me to cough up the mucus after doing it twice. Hoping to have a goodnight sleep.my cough instantly reduced. Thanks again Doctor.
All the best
Wow im going to try this , can i use ginger in powder mix , like those small tiny ginger erbs in bottles ?
Thank you so much for days I have had a chest infection and was coughing using my chest not realizing that's probably why my chest is hurting from all the chest coughing and not abdomen I'm going to share this trick with my siblings thanks again
Very pleased it helped, all the best from the team.
I do this every time I have asthma. It does help most times. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome
Thank you Sir, Love from India ❤️
Booooo
Goood!! ❤
This was so helpful! It works for me 🙂
Glad it helped!
It worked for me. Thank you!👍
You're welcome!
The absolutely best exercise for lung clearance...I think asthma will also be cured with this....
Unbelievable, why no doctors prescribe this ...
Sad society
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Good stuff.
Thanks!
Thank you sir 🙌
Worked great for me, like it pushes the mucus or phlegm forward and makes a little pile then a big cough takes it all away.
First time I've not been wheezy in a week or so
Thanks
