Mucus question - part two

Yea!!!! Rick  Way to go. G.

Did anyone, or does anyone, use a humidifier?  Would this help?  My husband is just starting to get heavier mucous after three weeks of treatment, and I think it scares me more than it bothers him.   He goes to sleep before I do  and last night he was laboring so hard to get good breaths in his sleep - and loudly.  I was afraid to leave him alone to go sleep in another room, because he might choke in his sleep (tho probably not) and I was afraid to go to sleep.  So I took a sleeping pill, and we both woke up in the morning!  I guess I shouldn't worry quite so much -I'm not really a worrier by nature, but I am afraid he'll choke in his sleep. Is that a silly concern? 

Humidifiers do help; at least, they helped me, along with plain Robitussin and medications that dried me out, such as antidepressants. It was horrible, but has slowly improved. I was so afraid of choking that I slept in a recliner or propped on the couch for nearly a year. Your fears are valid, because on the remote chance he aspirates the mucus (sucks it down his lungs), he could get pneumonia. I would ask the doctor about it.
