Hi Darla, Yes, the correlation between active bronchiectasis and elevated ESR was noted in studies going back over 20 years. It is an airway inflammation and ESR is an inflammatory marker.
I'm responding from my phone so I can't give you a link right now, but you can Google "bronchiectasis and ESR" and find at least one journal article and 2 links to articles from nih.gov.

Hi Sue,
Thank you for that information. I did find the articles you were referring to and suspect that is what I have such a high ESR. I had another question but wonder if I should start a new topic. I wondered how the Aerobika feels when you use it and if it affects your heart rate. I often will get tachycardia from things that vibrate my chest. Wouldn't the Aerobika do the same then? Is it vibrating your chest? Or is it very subtle? Do you use it or just the saline solution or both? Thank you again. Warmly, Darla
