bronchietasis

the only help I have is Incruse Ellipta inhaler. I do not cough up much phlegm , I also suffer from asthma and Emphysema. I have low energy levels, is this normal ?, also breathlessness even just sitting down, and a heaviness in the chest. Walking can be difficult, I have to take it slow, not what I am used to. I am 82 years old, so do not know how much of this may be age related. Any advice would be appreciated.

thanks for your interest, butbI have never heard of such a place. But I will ask the next timeI see the Specialist, which I hope will be shortly, as I have been promised another C T Scan.
