Thanks for that mention of " In bronchiectasis our secretions are dehydrated,". Had not heard that or thought of that.
I think dehydration has played a huge role in the multiple of possible reasons why I finally came down with BE, Bronchiectasis. I had been diagnosed with being dehydrated for years and still have a hard time getting to the point where the doctor doesn't have to say "Your dehydrated."
Every time I drink water I immediately afterwards have that feeling of a lump in my throat needing to be cleared. I try so very hard to get enough water in but it ain't that easy considering multiple of factors, but I am not giving up.
Thanks for your replies Scoop.
