CT Scan Shows End Stage Bronchiectasis In One Lobe

Thanks for the response. I have been trying to go about my usual routine knowing that I don't feel quite right and I will continue to do this until my appointment. I've been trying to jog 4 miles on the treadmill at least 5 times a week. I haven't noticed myself being breathless but do get a "not quite right" feeling almost like a disconnect from my brain to my body. I guess this is normal because I don't feel quite right even sitting still. I think I am still trying to process that there is something actually wrong with me.

@coco1970- It's very unhinging to learn that we aren't well. Has your Pulmonologist ordered any inhalers or oral medicines for you so that your breathing is easier?

Coco1970, If you do not already own one; you may consider ordering a pulse oxometer online. No prescription needed, cost about $21.00. That way you can measure your breath and heartrate. You can measure these things while exercising and also at sitting. It is a good idea to keep tabs on these things when you have a serious lung disease. My oxygen level would drop so severely when I was doing aerobics, so needed a portable oxygen concentrator (oxygen machine).
