Anyone else have a sibling who also has Bronchiectasis?

May I ask whether anyone has explained the negative affects of coughing? While I try to remember to huff I always end up coughing right through my nebbing/airway clearance. I seem to be producing more and more mucus and wonder if I am damaging my lungs by coughing.

Hi- Yes there are negative affects of true coughing for us. Have you googled: side affects of coughing with bronchiectasis...??? Not much there however if we can avoid a true cough that is best that we not cough. Not an easy thing to do, avoiding coughing at times, because of how our body reacts. Sometimes I'm not sure if I coughed or huff coughed in the difficulty of the process of trying to clear out the mucus and mucus plugs.
Hopefully others will tell of their experiences with the true coughing with Bronchiectasis.
