Hi Bee, do u go to ER each time. Only had one episode but dr said I should go when it happens. I only hv Bronchiectasis, no MAC at this point. I hv fibrosis. Do you get the saline treatment only when u hv MAC? Kathy

Hi Kathy,
I have only been to the ER once due to the hemoptysis. Although I’ve experienced it many many times, the amount of blood has not warranted a return to the ER. I have kept my Pulmonologist informed of frequency & about one year post diagnosis, she recommended airway clearance. That now includes Albuterol before I nebulize sodium chloride & use of an Aerobika afterward. My understanding is that airway clearance is important for managing bronchiectasis. Take care.
