Hi. I went for an ablation just before this past Christmas, was admitted, readied for surgery, and then the anesthesiologists put s stop to it because of the excessive mucus that I was coughing up due to my Mac and brochiectisid and narrowed esophagus. They told me I couldn’t have the ablation until I cleared up those conditions. I am discouraged and still coughing. I have gone part time with my job which is working with the public designing kitchens in a big box store. I have to tell my clients that I am not contagious. They all think I’ve got bronchitis or pneumonia. My pulmonologist has put me on doxycycline for 30 days which I will start tomorrow. I slso have untreated sleep apnea and gerd, so I sleep on my back on a wedge and this dries my mouth out badly. I was not able to tolerate a c p a p. I’m not sure where to go from here so I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep going without thinking about it as much as possible.
