Subject: RE: BS: Kendall's latest scare
Sometimes I get what I have felt was a phlegm blockage in a small bronchial branch in the Autumn/Winter. If coughing does not clear it immediately, I hydrate to the max and it works its way out. Hurts like the dickens but enough Oxygen seems to reach past the blockage to keep the upstream branches alive. I seems like Oxygen reaches the upstream tissues via capillaries but probably not as much as the tissues are used to with direct contact with oxygen with each breath. If the pain persists beyond 3 days I get worried but then it passes soon after.

Drinking once again is the cure. Water or juice lubes the system and thins any phelgm while alcohol would probably dehydrate.

A bleb or blemy sounds dreadful but I may have had one without knowing it.




Speaking of meds, The stimulant drugs for Attention deficit syndrome/disorder is now cleared for use by adults, there is no danger to the adult heart afterall.

When you ask your doctor about this, simply become distracted before eventually asking for a prescription.
