Hair loss and Bronchiectasis

Hi Beth. Before being diagnosed with Bronchiectasis I had pneumonia for at least 6 months, didn't know it (go figure), and lost weight and hair by the gobs. My dermatologist noticed the hair loss and prescribed Minoxidil. A year later my hair is thicker than I ever remember and my blood pressure is slightly lower than usual.

I'm trying to find the very best bronchiectasis doctor our country has to offer. Anyone happen to know???

@barnettk18 I don’t know where you live but Dr. Jung at Baylor Dallas is a phenomenal expert.
