I have had Bronchiectasis MAC for two years now. I have been nebulizing with 7% saline and budsonide
.3% two times midmorning and nite. And exercises to get sputum clearance. Last nite right after dinner I felt like coughing and I was surprised that I was expelling quite a bit of blood. Even expelling some from my nose. After awhile it subsided and I did my evening nebulizing and went to bed after 3 hrs. When I woke up this morning I did have some blood/mucus and much less to just bits of blood.
This happened when I first was diagnosed. At that time my pulmonologist wasn't too worried and put me on the nebulizing that I currently do. Has anyone experienced blood when trying to remove sputum? So far I seem to control my MAC with the routine that I do. Hal
