Hello. Since my original post I went to a pulmonologist at University of Michigan for a second opinion. The good news is that he feels my bronchiectasis is being well managed and agrees with what my doc has done. He did refer me to ENT. My first visit was last week. It seems I have Kender diverticulitis. Mucus and food get deposited in a pouch and at a point it makes me cough and sometimes vomit the contents of that. I have another test coming and then probably surgery. Here’s why I am giving all this detail - I blamed my bronchiectasis and even told my pulmonologist my symptoms a year ago. Issue originally was not being able to breath/swallow past where the Adam’s apple is and needing to massage my throat to dislodge it. It has nothing to do with my other diseases and glad I pushed to follow through.
