Reply to "Productive cough"

I had my J Pouch since 1996 I am now 57 courtesy of UC. Out of the blue  about 7 years ago. I  developed a morning chronic cough, about 45mins to 60 minutes after I am upright every day. I go threw a half box of tissues clearing thick mucus out of throat  gagging this goes on for about  45mins , only happens daily in morning have had a couple of bouts only again while upright during day also. Thankfully not while lying flat or sleeping only on waking & about 1 hour after upright like clockwork. Had a bundle of tests on lungs Sputum etc. The only outcome was mild bronchiectasis . It has gradually got worse so i doubt is mild anymore. During day after clearing all the crap breathing is perfect can take huge deep breaths , workout hard etc with absolutely no issues, sometimes i may spit a bit of phlegm . So this only seems to be  a very regular morning issue.

Has anyone had a similar experience. Thanks.
