I wonder why doctors, and most especially pulmonologists, are not aware of even a remote possibility of hemoptysis and aspirin interaction.
National Jewish does research into lung conditions. It would be great if I could find an avenue to communicate with them about this one concern with aspirin, especially with Dr. Daley, head of ID or Dr. Griffith, ID doctor.
I also wonder if combining inhaled tobramycin with one or more medications could knock out Pseudomonas, or even alternating oral antibiotics as a therapy. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 courses of or even switching out oral antibiotics to get rid of a mere chest infection, let alone Pseudomonas.
NJH prefers to keep my asymptomatic Pseudomonas knocked back with good airway clearance, with my pulmonologist saying it is hard to get rid of this bacteria, and if rid of it, it often comes back.
Thank you all for your replies.

i think some people with Bronchiectasis can take aspirin without issue. I just know I cannot and that it will cause bleeding. Or if I take Omega 3's. Anything that really thins the blood. But not everyone has that reaction. And it might be a nose bleed or hemoptysis.
Combining Tobramycin with Cipro or Levo is done all the time by some Pulmos. if the person is symptomatic with Pseudo. Toby alone is also used to keep it at bay (two weeks on two weeks off). But not treating it unless symptomatic seems to be what the experts are doing.
