Been told I have bronchiectasis as I had a ct scan ordered by my Gastro Dr due to losing a lot of weight and anxiety sky high due to see my gp as I see him on a montly basis since losing weight. I have been referred by gastro dr to a lung respiratory consultant but don't know how quick I will get an appointment.
Can I ask what questions I need to ask the gp.
Thanks

I have Bronciatacesis. Ask them what you can do to clear your lungs.
I have used a lot of natural techniques but everyone is different. I drink lots of herbal tea with honey, use organic oils such as eucalyptus and peppermint.
Thanks spoke to my gp he said I might get an appointment from the lung consultant it might not be bad so at the moment its a waiting game to see if I need to be seen
I would also ask your go for a sputum test, to make sure you can rule out any bacteria that shouldn't be there....better to be safe and know what else you might have...at least you will know
