Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease that affects the bronchi, the tubes that carry air into the lungs. In this video, we'll be covering all you need to know about Bronchiectasis, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
We'll start by defining what Bronchiectasis is, and how it differs from other respiratory conditions. We'll then discuss the various causes of the disease, including genetic factors, infections, and other underlying conditions that can contribute to the development of Bronchiectasis.
Next, we'll delve into the symptoms of Bronchiectasis, which can include coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, and recurrent respiratory infections. We'll also touch on how the disease is diagnosed, including the tests that doctors may perform to confirm the presence of Bronchiectasis.
Finally, we'll explore the treatment options available for Bronchiectasis, including medications, airway clearance techniques, and surgery. We'll also discuss the importance of early intervention in managing the disease and preventing further damage to the lungs.
If you or someone you know is living with Bronchiectasis, or if you simply want to learn more about this chronic respiratory disease, then this video is for you. Join us as we explore the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for Bronchiectasis, and gain a better understanding of how to manage this condition.

Thank you for your great video. I have it since I was in college. I am 68 years old. I managed to take care of it and maintain quality of life. I use puffers almost daily. I use prednisone and antibiotics when infection occurs. I still managed to dance one hour every day, 5 days a week. Exercise, balance diet, and proper life style does help. I see my lung specialist every year to monitor the progress. There is no improvement but it remains the same over the years . I am grateful that I retain an active life style to the best I can. Thank you again for your nice video.

I am 28 years old and I just found out that I have this disease. I did a lot of research. I'm researching death rates. I think I'm about to fall into depression. I don't even want to go out during the best times of my life. Your comment motivated me. So you have to get used to living with it. Thanks for your comment. 😌

After many tests and a bronchoscopy, I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis four years ago. The cause isn't known and I've never smoked. I manage it well but I certainly know if I get an exacerbation.

Recently, I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Coincidently, my mother has had this condition for years. I do wonder if genetics plays a role.🤔

@reneemcmillan3865, that’s a completely unfounded statement. If HFCWO Therapy results in hemoptysis then there is a separate issue going on. HFCWO can be life changing in patients with symptomatic BE and there is a ton of medical literature to support this.

Good afternoon, doctor. I sufer from bronchioctasies about a year and a half, after I suferred a very severe infection with Covid. For about a year the manifestation were decrese and I had bronchioctasies crieses once a month. About a month the crieses became very often, almost every dat. Shoud I go to a doctor? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for sharing. Yes, you should see your doctor who can send your sputum/phlegm sample to the lab to ensure no specific bacteria is growing which may require a specific antibiotic. You should also try "airway clearance techniques for bronchiectasis" (lots of youtube videos available to follow)- these will help you clear your chest and hopefully reduce how often you get infections. Best Wishes
