My MAC and bronchiectasis treatment

@unicorn I had never had ANY medical problems before the palpitations, and I wasn’t on any type of medication. I barely took antibiotics if I got sick. Excellent blood pressure, cholesterol and weight. When I went to the Dr the first time it happened, I asked if it could be a symptom of menopause. I was 54 and had started menopause. I was always a very healthy, athletic person; gym, Scuba diving, sports, hiking, vacations etc. No heart disease in my family. Menopause was the only thing I could think of. My parents were smokers and I did smoke, but I had quit about 20 years before. I do drink occasionally, but not excessively, and I never did any types of drugs. I don’t know when I got bronchiectasis or MAC/MAI, or if one thing had anything to do with the other, (meaning palpitations and lung issues). I’m just glad I don’t have the palpitations anymore. Good luck and I hope you have your answers soon.

thanks Gina, me too. I think mine is just another complication of the MAC, or the hiatal hernia and gerd which is also complication of the MAC. !
