Been recently diagnosed with bronchiecstasis and don't really know a lot about it except what I listened to from the pulmonary specialist. I have had sarcoidosis for a long time but it does not seem to bother me too much. I cough a lot with the yellowish and green stuff appearing, and I have used a nebulizer for the first time and it seemed to be okay. Any info or tips on helping me learn more about it.

How is the nebulizing working for you?

Hi Alecia - There are so many aspects to bronchiectasis that it is hard to know where to begin when you get diagnosed.
Colleen's list of links is very helpful. Here is some info from the American Lung Association too: https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/lung-disease-lookup/bronchiectasis/questions-to-ask-your-doctor

Maybe after you read some of them, you will have some specific questions for us. There are many members here with bronchiectasis, and just as many different experiences with it. I'm always willing to answer questions to help make your journey easier.

What medication is in your nebulizer?
Sue
