Lung Diseases: I Have a Lung Disease Called Bronchiectasis, They Have Tried Most Everything to Help Me Breathe

Question by Goodbye: Lung diseases: I have a lung disease called Bronchiectasis, they have tried most everything to help me breathe
But, to no avail nothing seems to be working. Anyone know of anyone that has this and if so, what treatments seem to work. I am 35 and they say i won’t live to see 40.

I was not very familiar with this disease so I did some research. Is the type you have cystic bronchiectasis. If it is, according to the source I used, it is the only one whose effects are irreversible.Yet it said nothing about shortening your life span that much. How long have you had the disease? Was it a result of having pneumonia or tuberculosis? According to this source there are medicines to get rid of your excess mucous and exercises you can do to help the process. I would suggest contacting the American Lung Association. I hope they are able to help
