Had an appointment with Bronchiectasis physio in Friday I'm still not quite sure if anything was achieved actually
The Physio told me I have a different kind of bronc when I asked in what way she said what I believe was oh it's tract then changed the subject I tried to revisit but never managed an answer
This article from Australian site, explains the 3 types:

Hope this of help.
A very clear explanation I think.
Thank you so much for this, I have bronchiectasis and COPD. I have never managed to get much of an explanation from the medics. Take care. Mags
Thank you xx
I was told I have traction bronchiectasis.🤷♀️
If you print off the information you will see that traction bronchiectasis is different to the three major types. It can be seen on HRCT scans but often has no clinical symptoms. It is more often seen in patients with interstitial lung disease.I think that you should ask your consultant’s secretary for the letter naming which type you have, rather than rely on a physio’s word. She is probably correct but hasn’t explained anything properly.you need your consultant to do this.
I have two of the three main types and they are named in every letter from my consultant to my GP.
Thanks littlepom
