Could GERD explain it all? The only symptoms I have are chronic cough and SOB with wheezing. I don’t feel other symptoms, even those associated with LPR/silent reflux, such as lump in throat or difficulty swallowing. My gastroenterologist was hesitant to perform invasive testing since I didn’t respond to PPIs, don’t use antacids, and have these lung issues.
Generally, I eat small meals, avoid typical triggers, drink about 100 oz of water. I’m not overweight: 5’10”, 135 lbs. I sleep with a 7” gradual elevation from feet to head.

Not a medical professional, but in my opinion you need
to see someone who specializes in MAC bronchiectasis and can work with a team to reach a diagnosis
