Is this normal?

[Mag Burns]

I have now been vaping without analogs (exept for the odd 1 or 2 ) for 4 weeks now. I am asthmatic so I still use my inhalers but far less than before .

My query and concern is that I am still coughing up brown bits in the plegm
(Sorry to be so descriptive but I have no other way of putting it).

I have read about this before and can't find the posts now. To me, it looks like it could be batting

Am I worrying about nothing? Is anyone else having the same side effect?

Not sure, Mag. I haven't had that problem, but I am very curious to see what others say about this.

Due to taking inhalers I have always coughed up a lot of gunk but have never had bits in it. I wondered if it is my lungs beginning to clear themselves or if it IS batting. I am sure I don't vape any different to anyone else.

Dear Mag,

I have been analog -free for 8 weeks. I am still occasionally coughing up brown flecks. I found the following article helpful in estimating how long that might go on.

there is a graphic presentation of these assertions at

My own advice would be to seek regular medical supervision about the healing process, to put your mind at rest.

That is how I am going about it. So far my GP is regarding the flecks as a natural part of the healing process - he called it cell regeneration.

Best,

C.

Thanks for that. So they are cell fibres then. I am starting to heal already

This relieves my anxieties a little. I suppose using inhalers may aid to promote speedier recovery?! I must say that I do feel much better than before and walking up an incline isn't half so bad so it all has to be positive.

Once again, thanks for your response.
