Why do daily airway clearance?
MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: Jul 16, 2023 | Replies (30)Comment receiving replies
I’m so sorry to read about the challenges you are facing with dizziness. I just wanted to say that I am a patient at Mayo Jax due to my bronchiectasis & MAC. I was diagnosed in Nov 2017 locally & asked my pulmonologist about a second opinion at Mayo. He suggested a Dr. there & I self-referred only to experience rejection. I then wrote a letter which generated a call and soon an appt. I think there may have been a couple of contributing factors in that I am local AND I had open heart surgery there in 1999 (no ongoing treatment at Mayo after). That said, I think Mayo Jax is extremely busy & there are delays in obtaining/scheduling appts. Would your pulmonologist refer you? Take care, Linda

I live just south of Tampa so not really local. I was diagnosed in 2018 but only the past several months have I had trouble with a high blood pressure and dizziness. My cardiologist is the one who looked at my medication list and immediately said it was one of those for MAC that was causing it and prescribed a med to counteract it. It has been working fairly well but the dizziness is getting much worse the last few months.
