Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Excessive mucus production is seen commonly with bronchiectesis and chronic bronchitis.
Bronchiectesis is structural disease of airways in which airways become dilated.
Chronic bronchitis is functional disease of airway causes obstructive defect.
So better to get done
1. Chest x ray to rule out bronchiectesis.
2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out chronic bronchitis.
Consult your doctor and discuss all these, first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
