Finally identified my long-term illness (Bronchiectasis), thanks to Dr Google :)
My understanding is this: Healthy lungs and the bronchi airways are lined with mucus that is produced by the body to 'catch' particles and unwelcome bacteria, and coughing is a natural process to remove some of this mucus, which is then replaced by more mucus in a thin layer. But with Bronchiectasis, the bronchi airways are wider than normal, due to some original issue, such as pneumonia, (which I had several times 25 years ago). Therefore, the body naturally produces too much mucus to try to line these wider airways. In my case, if there is no irritant breathed in, my excess mucus stays stuck to my widened airways. I can feel it, but it doesn't cause me a major problem. But if I have some irritant, then the mucus starts to do its job, except rather than needing to cough up a small amount of mucus, there is a large amount to cough up, and it sticks to the bronchi walls like superglue! So special hugging coughs or even slapping the chest area (as is done with cystic fibrosis patients), is needed, or medication to thin this thick mucus so that it can be more easily coughed up. As for cigarette smokers, I guess that the smoke is inhaled and then exhaled - it doesn't remain in the airways. -

Farage’s Political Earthquake Begins to Rattle Britain’s Foundations
Before the last election Labour they cut taxes, they will do this and do that, pump millions into the NHS. But the batteries in the calculator must have been flat, anyone could see they proposals would not just add up, and they claim that the Tories left a 22 billion black hole, they somehow have to fill Now they are finding out their proposals will not work just no money in the coffers, hence cutting winter fuel payments, increasing NI payments, still not going to work. Basically the UK does not pay enough tax ,it was Magie T that cut taxes, hoping that all the revenue from North sea oil will make up for the short fall ,but now no North sea oil taxes ,plus other taxes ,the tax rate will have to up just not enough money coming in ,but that would be political suicide ,at the following general election ,and it would slow UK growth ,so no government will do that just Bodge along putting up other taxes like NI and cutting fuel payments. It would help if scroungers on the SS system were stopped, that is costing a lot of money it could be done, but the do- gooders would move in saying they need that money ect ,ect. Looking ahead income taxes will go up, no choice, but would we want the new Tory leader in Number 10 next time, maybe it is better, the devil you know ....,as I said before cannot see it being Farage, well I hope not. -
