Sue - adding to my last….other than recent diagnosis of mild asthma based of breathing test ordered by pulmonologist prior to first appt, 8’ve never had any lung issues/illnesses other than the rare headcold (and those mostly sinus and not chest symptoms). And the asthma surprised me as I’ve never had any symptoms even though I’ve been physically active all my life.

In reply to @mch… our diagnosing situation is quite similar, although I remained fairly sick during the ongoing process of CT scans and bronchoscopes. No bronchiectasis diagnosis was ever made until I went to Mayo Clinic. As it turned out, the facility I was seen at for two years, could not discern the diagnosis and only gave me an exercise induced asthma diagnosis. I, too, had never had a history of respiratory illnesses over my life. Thank goodness I finally arrived at a facility that had knowledge of this disease and I started to receive treatment💕
