I had the same question and from everything I have read, bronchiectasis is not a COPD disease. Here is a good article from Healthline that explains the differences between COPD and bronchiectasis. https://www.healthline.com/health/copd/bronchiectasis-copd#bronchiectasis.

Maybe similar in that both COPD and Bronchiectasis are chronic obstructive airway diseases?
With COPD airways become narrower I believe but with BE, small airways are permanently enlarged and mucus gets stuck in the airways — leaving us with excess mucus our bodies can’t get rid of normally and the potential for infections etc.
