I was diagnosed with COPD several years ago and was told I had emphesyma. I was a former smoker who only smoked lightly and quit 45 yr. ago but asthma runs in my family.
About 2 months ago I was diagnosed with brachiecstasis. I have mucus in my lungs that is caused by the pseudomonous bacteria and needs to be coughed up. I am using The Vest for that purpose.
Is brachiecstasis still considered C.O.P.D.?
