Life With Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Barb has lived with bronchiectasis for nearly 20 years, experiencing daily shortness of breath and a persistent cough.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic, inflammatory lung disease that worsens over time and causes symptoms like chronic cough, excess mucus, and recurrent infections.
About 500,000 adults in the United States have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, with potentially more undiagnosed cases.
Although bronchiectasis is chronic and irreversible, treatments and disease management plans are available for patients to handle the condition.
