I was diagnosed with cystic bronchiectasis last year after I had a cardiac CT scan.
Is cystic bronchiectasis related to, the same as, or something other than cystic fibrosis? 🤷🏼‍♀️

There are a number of forms bronchiectasis can take, with the cystic version being among the rarer types. It means your bronchii look like a bunch of grapes. You can see a line drawing in this article:

Were you referred to a pulmonologist for followup?
