Many people who suffer from COPD also have a problem getting mucous out of their lungs or bronchi. There are several different methods that many people use to expel this mucous.

Deep Coughing: First, take a deep breath. Hold your breath for 2-3 seconds. Forcefully expel your air using your stomach muscles. A deep cough is less tiring and more effective in clearing mucus out of the lungs than merely clearly your throat.

Huff Coughing: Huff coughing, or huffing, is an alternative to deep coughing.. Start by taking a breath that is deeper than a normal breath. Use your stomach muscles to make a series of three rapid exhalations with your airway open, making “ha, ha, ha” sound. Then, perform a series of controlled diaphragmatic breaths followed by a deep cough if you feel mucus moving.

There are other methods to remove mucous if these techniques do not work according to LP Medical these include:

Your doctor may suggest using a mucus clearing device. There are several types of airway/mucus clearance devices that you can use to remove excess mucus and saliva from your airways. They will come in the form of a mouthpiece, a mask, a vest, etc. and to function they use air pressure, oscillation, or high-frequency sound waves to function.

Postural drainage is a technique that uses gravity to promote drainage of mucus from the lungs.

Any of these airway clearing techniques technique can be ordered and demonstrated by your doctor. Try doing this before bed to sleep without being interrupted by a mucus inducing cough or breathing complications.
