Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Joyce, The same thing happens to me when I go to bed at night. I like the trick with the three pillows and taking them away gradually. I sort of do something similar with the inflatable mattress genie. I start out with it all the way up and then let air out a little at a time to try and minimize the coughing. I still cough but I think it would be more if I didn't ease into lying down.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Pink Mattress Genie is under the top of the mattress. It goes from flat to up quite high. Works pretty well. Not as good as an adjustable bed but thousands less in cost. > > > From: BlueLiddy (AT) aol (DOT) com BlueLiddy (AT) aol (DOT) com> > Subject: Coughing > To: Breathe-support@ yahoogroups. com > Date: Saturday, November 21, 2009, 11:24 PM > > > Â > > > I guess I really do cough.
