My MAC and bronchiectasis treatment

@unicorn I started having palpitations about a year before I had my MAC diagnosis. That’s what sent me to the Dr to start with. It was during an x ray and then subsequent CT scan that my Dr saw the nodules and then the NTM and bronchiectasis diagnosis came after my hemoptysis. I had then also been Dx with atrial fibrillation (A Fib) and had an ablation procedure. I wonder if the shortness of breath could contribute to the palpitations. I haven’t had it again since the ablation 2 years ago and I’ve never taken any of the antibiotics for the NTM. Just another mystery of this disease.
