Many people deal with constant mucus that seems to return again and again — whether it’s in the throat, chest, or deeper in the lungs.

For some, it can also come with frustrating symptoms like:

• chest congestion
• coughing up mucus
• wheezing or tight breathing
• the feeling that air doesn’t move as freely as it used to

Respiratory therapist Elizabeth Moffet says that in many cases, persistent phlegm may actually be linked to mucus buildup deeper in the lungs — something most people never realize.

In a short presentation, she explains why this mucus can become thick, sticky, and difficult for the body to clear naturally.

She also shares a simple “7-second night routine” that she says may help explain why some people start noticing their breathing feel clearer again.
