Bronchoscopy

Update from last post! I had it done tonight and it wasn’t awful, I went with no sedation.

But my consultant said I had typical red looking asthma lungs and in particular got a lot of inflammation in my trachea, which he wants to check for silent reflux or suspect might be post nasal drip getting in to my lungs. Also took washings so got to wait for those to come back, wait for MDT and hopefully form a plan. Fingers crossed it answers a lot of the problems I’m having.

Only issue now is the bronc has made my already bad cough worse and still being sick in the morning and my sleep has been so broken for over a week 😞
