Hypertonic Saline

I just started it after trying it awhile back and thought it did not do much for me. I am on it again and I do not really cough from it but my chest feels weird and I am not sure if it is the HS or congestion? It feels like a tightening or a compression feeling. Funny when I sneeze my lungs feel better for a few seconds, so then I wonder if it is allergies now. I am just finishing a 3 week tune up and my PFT's are higher than before tune up.

Anyone have a negative response to HS? Should I stop and see how I feel?

Thanks

Jennifer,

HTS can constrict the airways, so you need to take a bronchodilator (Albuterol, Xopenex, etc) at least 15 minutes prior to using.

I do Xopenex prior to HS but still feel the same way. I also tried doing the Xopenex after but not sure that makes much of a differenc. Any other suggestions or thoughts?

I've had (minor) bloody nose, mainly bloody snot. HTS has made me sneeze from time to time. My brother was put on HTS as well, and while I LOVE it he says it's a little too harsh on his lungs so he doesn't use it much.
Other than that... not really anything I can think of...
