Hello,
I’m 23 years old (m) and was recently diagnosed with very mild bronchiectasis. Really thankful it’s not more serious and have the upmost respect for those of you that really struggle with the condition.
I get the odd chest infection (maybe 1/2 an year) after a virus which clears up with antibiotics however even after I’m no longer coughing up phlegm, my lungs still sound coarse when forcing exhalation. I’ve tried all the breathing techniques and devices to try and clear the sound but nothing ever comes up and it usually leaves my chest feeling worse and more irritated. I get quite bad post nasal drip, especially in winter, so I don’t know if it is just that causing the irritation in the upper lung. Either way, I just wondered if anyone had any tips on how to help the irritation? I would contact my GP to ask but am about to go travelling the world tomorrow (exciting), so really don’t have the opportunity.
Sorry if this type of post is not allowed and thank you for reading !
