I have Asthma and Bronchiectasis but not Pulmonary Embolisms as far as I know. But I'm sure someone will come along soon who has all three.
I have asthma and bronchiectasis
Had an ultrasound which diagnosed bronchiectasis so not sure how x-ray can see it as my x-ray didn't show anything
I have bronchiectasis since I was 8 months old I am now 72 I am just starting to try out tumeric and it seems to help well worth reading about it
Hi there
I have had all three since the age of 15.
When I was younger I never really understood the conditions just kind of excepted what the drs told me and took the treatments
My embolisms occurred more than 3 times very close episodes. Which resulted in me having to take heparin for life I am now 42yrs old I could not take tablets as my body rejected them resulting in another PE. So hence having to inject everyday . The other conditions I have inhalers for and try to manage the best I can .
It's only the last two years my lungs have worsened and i have been on antibiotics alot.
I still exercise everyday even when i feel breathless and eat really well.
I take vitamin D and B supplements.
I have to say it's not easy with these conditions as the PE's can be very dangerous .
It's all about management and taking rest when you need it and asking for help if you need it too.
Please feel free to ask me anything more
All the best
