Hello dbug. I’ve had a catheter ablation procedure to deal with AFIB. The only med I use is Eliquis, a blood thinner which, I’m told, reduces the likelihood of post-op stroke from 4% to 1%.
Re: MAC, the only meds have been antibiotics for acute bronchitis “flare-ups.” Happily since moving from 0.09% saline to 7% strength nebulizer inhalation I’ve had zero acute episodes. Bye bye antibiotics.

Hi debug. Welcome to the world of bronchietasis, MAC, and Afib. As others have replied, also received pulmonary vein ablation, had mastectomy and most recently pneumonia, was ventilated nine days. The only antibiotic treatment was for the pneumonia. MAC has not be treated, was diagnosed in 2017. Take warfarin, sotalol for Afib, nebulize atrovent and use compression vest for bronchietasis. Have never had anesthesiologist comment on mucus congestion, and there’s plenty of it. Tussin Mucus & Chest Congestion liquid is excellent for thinning congestion. Wishing you well on your journey. Good health.

Thumperguy did you have the Mac when you had your ablation???? Has it stopped your afib attacks of tachycardia??? Are you able to lay flat without collecting mucus to set you to coughing?? I am wondering why they sent me home and would not perform my ablation. The anesthesiologist said if I went forward with the ablation that I would risk being on a ventilator!!
