I really need to find out more about flare-ups. Can members tell me how they felt on having a flare-up please. And how they resolved it? Other people's experiences might help me understand the best way forward.
It is really baffling me. It is two months since I began taking the doxycycline thinking with green phlegm (not much)to bash it on head. My condition improved but has returned. Now I have a lung pain and chest discomfort and general sense of fatigue. My lung feels congested but no cough and sputum is clear. Sputum test was ok. Just finished 7 day course of doxy but no improvement.
I have mild bronchiectasis but because I breath through my neck (a laryngectomee) the winter cold and wind hits me hard and I made the mistake of walking to the eye hospital which seems to have triggered it off again.
Lots of good wishes to everyone.

Hi Frustrated 12, I am a bronchiectasis sufferer and its a difficult one as it could be that the infection has cleared but your lungs are still twitching with cold air and exertion making them feel compromised .it can take a few weeks for them to settle if you have bronchiectasis. Good luck and get well soon.
