I have not gotten rid of bronchiectasis and it is my understanding that once it develops you will always have it. It is a physical condition not an infection. But the doctor said that is probably why I got the MAC disease however because I also have A-Fib I am hesitant to start the treatment for MAC because the combination of antibiotics and A-Fib medication is contraindicated.

I have the same issues as you are indicating. I have AFib and take several blood pressure meds and a dieretic. I don't think that it is good to take so many meds as your system and your organs break down. There are many side effects with the 3 drug program and that is not emphasized enough.

I was on a three pill regiment for Mac infections for about 47 days and it did not seem to bother my a fib problem at all. that was just my case. I got off the three pill regimen because it really lowered my blood pressure and I felt tired all of the time. I’ve had the Mac for five years is coming May, and now I have nodules on my lungs. So I’m thinking about going on the two Pill regimen for Mac. I have a aortic valve replacement from 2015, bovine Type . Best of luck to you and you too and to stay dry now
