I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis after I got CT scans for Covid pneumonia. No one noticed it but me, all they told me was my Covid groundglass was gone. I have had pneumonia more times than I can remember, which I suspect is the cause of my disease. I brought it up with my doctor after reading the results as I was concern because my Mother died of it.
I had a pulmonary test, but they did not test sputum. I don't have mucus production unless after heavy exercise, partially due to asthma as well. I guess they can do some invasive stuff to get a sample, but pulmonologist said they wouldn't do anything now as not symptomatic. I had a little lung function loss but not much. I am athletic and do a lot of sports. Doctor just said keep exercising and no other preventative measures. Do people nebulize with mild cases?
