Google Active Cycle Breathing Technique. This will help you keep your lungs clear. And see your GP. It's a common condition but incurable, unfortunately. It's a pain in the arse but if you look after yourself it's bearable.Good luck!

You may find BLF pages on Bronchiectasis helpful - link below:

Keep on top of lung infections, ask your GP surgery for sterile sputum sample pots and let your doctor know that you are providing a sputum sample for testing, (he will need to provide a form to go with the sample when its sent to the hospital for testing. Results can help determine the correct antibiotic for whatever is breading in your lungs.

I hope you can manage to stabilise things soon.

best wishes
