Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition in which the airways become damaged and widened, making it difficult to clear mucus from the lungs. This buildup of mucus can lead to frequent lung infections, chronic coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue, often impacting daily activities and quality of life.
​
Common symptoms of bronchiectasis include a persistent productive cough, increased mucus production, recurrent respiratory infections, and breathing difficulties. While bronchiectasis is a long-term condition, proper management can help control symptoms and reduce flare-ups.
Treatment may include airway clearance therapy, oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments, and other home respiratory equipment to support lung function and improve breathing. Managing bronchiectasis often requires consistent care, education, and the right medical equipment.
