"...But by using it, I'm forcing the mucous out of my head and into
my lungs. I cough a lot and my lungs "rattle" when I do"

You know, I've wondered the very same thing about when I have a
cold. It seems the machine forces the phlegm back down the
throat. Can be kind of gagging to me. I wonder what the answer is.
I'll be interested to hear any ideas. As an aside, I just sneezed last
night for the first time while my mask was on. Very weird LOL
