Intense Chest Pressure/Burning

Thank you both for your feedback. I do not have GERD or cardiac issues and my chest pressure occurred before taking the extra antibiotics. The increase in chest pressure is an indicator, for me, of some kind of flare. I am feeling a bit better and have asked my pulmonologist for a follow up appointment on how I can manage my bronchiectasis better. It seems like I need another bronchoscopy to see if I still have NTM in my lungs…. I’m at a loss.

I hope you get some answers and relief. The reason I mentioned gerd is because I also contacted my doctor and insisted on an x-ray etc because I had such chest burning. I was convinced I had some chest infection it hurt so. Turns out it was gerd, which was silent at first then turned symptomatic.
