I’ve had two periods of fatigue similar to yours. The first one was a year and a half ago. For a couple of months I was constantly laying on the couch, often sleeping. I’d cook, go lay down. Load the dishwasher, go lay down, sleeping a lot. After a couple months, I realized that it probably the medications I was on for a heart arrhythmia. I saw my cardiologist and he switched me from metoprolol to a different med. Helped so much. These past few months I’ve been experiencing being so very tired. What I didn’t get done in the morning, didn’t get done until after a two hour nap in the afternoon, if then. I hadn’t had a change in anything and finally dropped off a sputum sample for the pulmonologist. My results came back with heavy growth of Haemophilus influenzae. So he has put me on a 10 day antibiotic (not azithromycin).
Otherwise, I’m not receiving treatment my bronchiectasis or mac other than nebulizing 7% saline and doing airway clearance.

For kiwi, What drug did your heart doctor switch you to from Metoprolol?
Thanks

What is saline therapy?

MAI tx for the past six months, yes my fatigue is the same as yours, but the doctors dont seem to think its related. Went to the cardiologist, got a clean bill of health. I am on the verge of quitting my desk job! After work i go home and lay down, but not able to sleep. Household chores take me days to complete, lol. I just dont care anymore. DOnt know if the fatigue is related to the MAI or the drug regiment. No one seems to care. Thinking of getting a second opinion.
