I doubt if anyone on this forum has been told the exact cause of their Bronchiectasis or MAC. That is not something any Dr can know for sure. But taking a history one could speculate. The key now is prevention and avoiding further damage. I wonder why not nebulize after 5?? I do it again around 6:30.

When my cough gets active in the evening, I will nebulize about an hour before bed. This helps me since nebbing saline makes me cough ALOT of mucus up and out of my lungs. When I do that, I can sleep without coughing my head off. So, I think it just depends on what works for you.

I’m not really sure why she told me not to nebulize past five but I have a feeling she was insinuating that you stir things up and it could aspirate… She’s the only Soul who told me that in the whole bunch. I usually do my nighttime nebbing anytime from 7 to 9 it varies… I think everybody should find their own sweet spot don’t you lol
