In answer to your questions in 1978 I began getting sick. I was diagnosed with bronchitis in 1982. I had pneumonia six times in 2 1/2 years. It was determined that I needed a lobe removal which I did in 1986. Since that time I have been on an antibiotic routine when I have an episode. I have two inhalers Symbicort and Spiriva that I use every morning and proair as a rescue inhaler. I was exposed to COVID in Dec when I was at the hospital for an unrelated surgery and on 12/26 got a steroid shot. I have had more episodes than normal since then and was referred to Univ of MI for a second opinion. It was determined my bronchiectasis is being treated well but seem to not tolerate eating at times (no specific food but always after my dinner). I go into coughing sprees until I am able to clear what seems to be phlegm around the Adam’s apple. I will go to a vocal specialist next at U of M to figure out how to stop that from happening. I do nebulize with 7% thanks for this group and it does help with my coughing spree. I do have a spot on my lung which they will do a scope on and diagnose but it has been there a few years but not growing. Anyone else have a similar issue? Thanks for asking and sorry for the long post.
