@winterfelllvoyager75 I have mucus plugging and my pulmonologist mentioned doing a bronchoscopy to go down and use suction to clear them. I had many misgivings with this doctor so I did not have this done. I will see my new pulmonologist in January and will see if she suggests that as well. If not, I plan to ask her about it. How would your doctor remove them? Hoping others respond with their experiences.

I recently had a chest CT follow-up for pulmonary nodules and the recent f/u scan showed endobronchial plugging. I asked for a pulmonology referral for shortness of breath issues but it was denied because the pulmonary nodules were stable, but the plugging wasn’t addressed. I have not had pneumonia.
