I’m wondering if anyone in the group is using the Volara system for airway clearance? I have been using the Philips InCourage vest, which I like very much. But it increases my frequent headaches. 


My Bronchiectasis Nurse Practitioner suggested the Volara system. Any thoughts? I am blessed to be in this group.🌻

Cathy F,
We are glad you are a part of our community. I do not use the Volara system. I wouldn’t continue using a device that you feel increases your headaches. No harm in trying the Volara system if you can get it approved by insurance. Please keep us posted.
