Why am I so tired, especially on the days I take my MAC meds?

I'm tired all the time. It's worse on the days when I take my MAC meds. Does anyone know why and what I can do about this.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

What is your daily exercise routine? Walking even a little bit seems to help. Do you take any supplements like vitamin D? Have you had your B vitamin levels checked or iron? I see a holistic/integrative Dr along with a pulmanologist. All of these can affect energy levels. I am a petite person and I've found eating smaller amounts of nutritious foods 4-6 times a day (like every 3-4 hours helps with a lot of things. Keep posting. I am newly diagnosed

I'm small myself. Only 4ft 7in. I have asthma and COPD as well as MAC. I have a smart watch which tells me to walk every hour. At least 12 times a day. I get so out of breath it's hard to go out and do the things I use to do.
