Bronchiectasis

[Shellc]

Hi I have bronchiectasis and have been given co moxiclav antibiotics, does any body else feel more out of breath when they take them

I'm on them just now have been for 2 weeks. They stop tomorrow and were for a lung infection, and yes now I think about I've been more breathless but thought it was infection causing problems. I'll monitor breathlessness from tomorrow onwards and see how I go. Thanks for bringing it up and to others attention to . Maz

Thank you , I’ve been taking since Thursday , 3 times a day for an infection that may not have fully cleared , I was breathing fine before and I know weather has been hot but today I’ve hardly been able to walk , was thinking maybe it was mould spores blowing about outside in the air or antibiotics, I will see how I go for next few days

The awful heat will not have helped our breathing, plus the antibiotics will work better if you can drink plenty of water. The more the better as it will help the antibiotics to dilute the mucus and make it less sticky. This will help you to cough it up making more room for the air in the tubes and lungs.

Hope this helps, Rib
