A quirky manifestation of bronchiectasis

I am treated at National Jewish Health in Denver. My understanding is that if you visit the Bronchiectasis dept., you can be treated by their doctors and then go to remote treatment if you have a pulmonologist on hand where you live. This is perhaps the best place to go for your condition.
Still one must be cautious with any doctor. There are therapies that help with airway clearance --- the compression vest (where settings can be lowered) and a new machine called the Volara (another way that aids in clearing mucus).
After 2 spinal compression fractures, I discovered that perhaps my settings for the compression vest (mine is the SmartVest by Electromed) were too high. So as I say, caution in the by-word and a second opinion is always worth it. There are some Physical Therapists that have BE themselves who can give good advice.
