Anxiety and stress with Bronchiectasis
MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: Nov 2 7:07am | Replies (28)Comment receiving replies
I have a terrible time trying to fit two treatments a day for my Bronchiectasis. First nebulizer with saline and albuterol and then flutter valve. Then you have to clean everything. My life is very active and I didn’t feel like I had enough time in the day before this. I am very stressed and anxious about how to do this.
Any ideas or thoughts from people going through this. Thanks.
JJ

@jjudah I use the Aerobika that incorporates a flutter chamber into the nebulizer. I do that in the morning and then use the aerobika nebulizer cup in eve, so I sterilize 1/day. I am really tired of this as well. I'm seriously thinking of making an investment and buying 7 Aerobika's and 7 aerobika nebulizing cups and boil just 1/week. Just curious, have you done the methylene choline challenge and Nitric Oxide test to confirm asthma? I am hearing more and more people saying their bronchiectasis was confused for asthma. My pulm dr had me on inhaled steroids for years, got MABC, went to NJH and they told me I didn't need any steroids. It took me a few months to wean off of the inhalants, but I did.
