Hello! A basic review of the heart and lung connection: The heart and lungs are confined within the chest cavity and share
different functions. When lung diseases reduce oxygen delivery, it can place stress on the
right heart. The heart
pumps oxygen-poor blood
from the right side into the lungs via the pulmonary
artery, where gas
exchange occurs in tiny air sacs called alveoli. I am not writing this to alarm you but to inform you that it is
important to keep an eye on your vital signs- your blood pressure, your heart rate,
swelling of feet and lower legs, and your cholesterol levels. Your primary care provider may recommend an
appointment with a cardiologist to do further
diagnostic testing, such as an echo, a stress test, or other tests. Let us know if
you have any specific questions. Below is a video on how to take your own vital
signs:

Hello! A basic review of the heart and lung connection: The heart
and lungs are confined within the chest cavity and share different mechanical
functions. When lung diseases reduce oxygen delivery, it places stress on the
right heart and can potentially cause right heart failure over time. The heart

blood returns to the left heart and is pumped to the body. I am not writing

KB,
I wish you the best! 1:1 coaching with a respiratory therapist is definitely worthwhile. I hope that you can get a less time consuming but effective airway clearance program in place soon.
Thanks so much for the ideas, information, and support. I will call for guidance and ask for a referral to a respiratory therapist.
Interesting read in the European Lung Foundation's (ELF) newsletter about a study into how menthol can help to relieve the feelings of breathlessness. Hopefully this link works, but if not, take a look at their site:Can menthol inhalation reduce the feeling of breathlessness? - European Lung Foundation
Hi everyone! Yesterday, Congress advanced and the president signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2026. This funding package includes several big "wins" for the lung health community!:
- COPD Foundation/Bronchiectasis and NTM Association priority report language accompanying the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget
- Overall budget increase for the NIH
- Two-year extension of Medicare coverage for virtual pulmonary rehabilitation
- Restrictions on "forward funding" to provide more research funding
- Limits on indirect payment caps for research
Our lung health community's tireless dedication on advocacy helped make these "wins" possible! Thank you for your support of these policy priorities throughout 2025. Everyone should be very proud of their hard work that contributed to better policies for the lung health community.
Thank you to everyone for your passion and commitment for better lung health policies. We are incredibly proud of our community and look forward to more policy "wins" in 2026!

Hello! Do you fully understand the connection between the lungs and the heart? The link below from the Cleveland Clinic , including an infographic reviews this important information: https://www.nationaljewish.org/education/health-information/infographics/whats-the-connection-your-heart-can-affect-your-breathing
Please let us know if you have any specific questions.
KB,
You are most welcome. Yes, allergies, or anything that affects our upper airways, can affect our breathing and or travel downward. We are here to support you.
Suepink1
Good suggestion. Hopefully, her allergist has checked that already.
You can ask your pulmonologist for a referral to a respiratory therapist to review the best airway clearance techniques suitable for you.
Hello! You are in the process of learning what works best for you- it takes time to get into a practice that works best for you. Steam is not recommended for BNTM individuals. We have assistance available for you in many forms. In addition to the community support you receive here on BronchiectasisandNTM360, you can call one of our Patient Ambassadors directly by phone at (833) 411-5864. Our Ambassadors are real-life patients with experiences similar to yours and understand what you are going through. You can also email us at contactus@bronchandntm.org to get more information about airway clearance. Our Ambassadors can’t provide medical advice, but may be able to assist you with additional information and resources on airway clearance techniques.
If you scroll upwards, to the right and look for the Learn More Menu for additional information, including: Coping with Airway Mucus | Bronchiectasis and NTM Association
Have you or they checked out allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA)?
Hi. My diagnosis is mild bronchiectasis. Typically I have to clear airways every 4 to 5 days. But it takes me up to 3 hours to clear airways start to finish. From what I read on this blog, I am slow! Currently steaming for 15 minutes, nebulizing with saline for 15 minutes, postural drainage on one side in 2 positions each about 15-30 minutes with huff coughing which clears that side of my lungs Then back to a little steam, 10-15 more minutes of nebulizing, and then the other side with 2 postures and huff coughs for another 15-30 minutes. There has to be a better way. I've had a lot of recent flares so I am doing this every day to every other day lately. Please advise.
KB
Thanks for all this feedback. I am seeing allergist/immunologist and pulmonologist. Answers soon I hope but its looking like allergies exacerbate the bronchiectasis; flares, cold adds to it as you all knew. Its nice to have people to talk to about this. Appreciate you all.
Hello!This has been the longest cold stretch that I can remember. Staying indoors for extended periods of time can take a toll on some individuals.

KB,
You are most welcome! This is not a common occurrence. Has there been any outdoor environmental changes over the past 10 months? What does your Pulmonologist say?
Das23,
Hello! Thank you for sharing your update. I am glad that Colistin is working for you. Thank you for the information on the drug under current research. We must always hold onto Hope- so much has happened in the BNTM space over the past decade.
In response to your question asking for comments, like you, I was colonized with Pseudomonas for a year or two and was on Levaquin frequently.The Pseudomonas did disappear for about a year from my sputum samples, but then it came back “heavy” rather than “moderate.”Levaquin did not work.I was in the hospital for the first time in June of last year with pneumonia and was treated for the first time with a port in my arm and the drug Cefepime for the Pseudomonas.I went home with the IV and Cefepime for 14 days around the clock.Felt better until I came off Cefepime and was sick again within a few days.The Cefepime did not work.I was then put on Cipro orally along with prednisone, and that did work.I’m currently on Colistin (colistimethate) in nebulizer for 28 days on, 28 days off and doing well for the last 7 months with sputum sample showing Pseudomonas down from heavy to moderate.I sometimes can stretch the period in between Colistin to 2 months instead of 28 days.My pulmonologist always asks the lab to grow out the sample to test for these bugs.It takes about 6 weeks, but when the results come back, they should list the drug susceptibility for whatever is showing up.
Biomx, a NJ bio company was doing studies on a drug that was promising in the treatment of Pseudomas, but they had some problems and did not have the funding to change the dosing schedule for additional studies.However, Clarametyx, another bio company, is also currently doing studies on a drug for Pseucomonas, so there is hope.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your response. Usually it is very cold here in winter. However, this year no snow, little rain and the temp is much less cold though it has gotten into the 20s a few times. Usually in the high 30s to 40s this year. Allergist does peak flow and it is normal. Not sure about additional respiratory symptoms, I've had sensitivity to outside air for about 9 to 10 months and when outside or even exposed to outside air for just a few minutes, under 5 minutes, the lungs fill up and only staying inside helps lungs to settle down. Any advice?.
If anyone is on Brinsupri, I would love to hear your expeience
Are you in an area with extreme cold weather? Extreme cold weather can cause bronchospasms in some people.
Did you speak with your allergist about possible additional respiratory symptom due to allergy shots? Does he do peak flow testing at his office?
Currently undergoing allergy shots. Lately any exposure to outside air flares the bronchiectasis. Are these flares likely to increase the frequency of the need to clear lungs or will the frequency return to what it has been? When at maintenance with allergy shots, will the difficulty with outside air improve significantly or be gone?.

Hello! We want to take a moment to talk about the social and
emotional side of living with a chronic condition—something that often doesn’t
get enough space or conversation. For many people, chronic illness can affect
mental and emotional well-being in real and lasting ways. Some of those
experiences may include:
·
Relationships feel different. Living with a
chronic condition can change how we connect with loved ones. It may be hard to
explain what daily life feels like now, ask for support, or adjust to a “new
normal” together. Bronchiectasis and NTM are invisible conditions and are often
misunderstood, which can add another layer of challenge.
·
Medical stress and burnout. Many people with
bronchiectasis or NTM spend years searching for answers before receiving a
diagnosis. Some have felt dismissed or not fully believed along the way, which
can be exhausting and discouraging. On top of that, ongoing appointments, phone
calls, and insurance hurdles can be overwhelming—especially when it is ongoing,
not just an occasional task.
Let us know if you can relate to either of the effects of
chronic illness listed above. You are not alone; we are here to support you on
your journey. Knowledge empowers people
to keep going forward. Learning how to communicate effectively with our
families, friends, and health care professionals is the key to a better quality
of life. Community support enables us to get the assistance we need. We are
here to walk alongside you and support you on your journey.

Hello! We continue to address the social/emotional impact of chronic conditions – a topic many people do not want to discuss. Some
chronic illnesses directly affect the mental health of some individuals. The
mental health effects of life with chronic illness may include:
·
Relationship challenges. People with chronic conditions
may need help discussing their experiences with loved ones, getting support
from their families, and dealing with the ways their “new normal” can affect
relationships. BNTM are invisible chronic conditions that are often
misunderstood.
·
Medical stress. It is common for people with
chronic illnesses, especially with poorly understood conditions like bronchiectasis
and NTM, to wait several years for an accurate diagnosis. Some people felt that their doctors didn’t believe
them or minimized their symptoms. This can be stressful and demoralizing, and damaging
to self-esteem. Ongoing appointments, dealing with phone calls, and insurance
companies can be very stressful when it is ongoing, not just a once-a-year
routine.
·
Fear about the future. People may worry about
what will happen to them if their support structure or condition changes over
time.
·
Self-esteem issues. Though chronic illnesses are
common, the world is designed for people who fit a narrow definition of
able-bodied. This can cause people with chronic illnesses or disabilities to
question their own worth. Giving up a career one loves due to a chronic condition can take a toll on an individual.
Let us know if you can relate to
any of the effects of chronic illness listed above. We are here to support you
on your journey. Reference link- https://www.goodtherapy.org/learn-about-therapy/issues/disabilities/coping
Das23,
Glad you are using nasal washes. Tis another tasks on our healthcare list but I feel it is definitely worth the time. Have a pleasant day
I use Navage and also Ayr Saline Mist. I like both
SuePink,
I really feel that nasal washes help us a lot throughout the winter.
Wise packing plan. Do you have plans to travel abroad in the near future? :)
I always use one each night before going to bed. I've got the NeilMed rinse bottles but when I go abroad I buy the cheaper saline mixes.
I usually travel light going abroad, take older clothes, then ditch them and bring back supplies 🙂
Nasal washes are solutions used to rinse out your nasal passages and sinuses using a saline(saltwater) mix. I find using these washes beneficial, especially throughout the winter months when we are dealing with dry heat in our homes. These washes moisturize our nasal passages, improving sinus and breathing comfort.
Always use safe water, such as boiled water for 10 minutes, and then cool the water before using.
There are many different brands, with Neil Med being the most advertised brand. Navage Saline Irrigation Starter Kit, Equate Comfort Flow Bottle Nasal Wash System, and Nasalfresh MD Dual Powered Nasal Irrigation System are a few other brands. You can order these on Amazon or purchase them at a local pharmacy.
Do you have any suggestions on nasal washes for our community?
Hello! Spring is my favorite season. There are 53 days until spring, on March 20th. 😍 I know that we are supposed to live in the present moment and I attempt to do so. Do you have a favorite season?
SuePink,
They would prefer a one time sputum but this is the 2nd best way of getting adequate sputum for some individuals. I have done this many times over the years; they will reject the specimen if not an adequate amount, or other reasons. I wish you the best in getting a good specimen.
so are throughout the day samples okay to send off? I keep being told it has to be just one attempt, which for me in my "healthy" state is never enough. I get heaps of small sticky amounts throughout the day, so I'll try that but let them know that is what it is. They can then discard if necessary.
Thank you
Hello! Many of us are housebound due to the severe cold weather
conditions throughout the USA. Scrolling
through social media or watching the weather reports all day is not good for
us. Diversional indoor activities are therapeutic pastimes. Hopefully, there’s
something on the list below for you to enjoy.
Learn a new skill, such as knitting or painting. Cooking and
baking are great activities to do on a snowy day. You can try out new recipes or
make some of your favorite comfort foods. Search online for some winter recipes
or check out this list of winter comfort foods.
Reading -you can curl up with a good book or magazine.
Practice some relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing
exercises to help you unwind and de-stress. There are many free programs on
YouTube or free apps.
Movie Marathon- grab some blankets, popcorn, and your
favorite movies for a cozy movie marathon or watch old TV shows. I have been
watching Johnnie Carson reruns that are very entertaining.
Board Games and Puzzles are classic snow day activities that
never get old. Try some arts and crafts if you are feeling creative. Check out
winter craft ideas online for some inspiration.
Treat yourself to a home spa day? A warm bath with some
Epsom salts and essential oils, homemade face masks and body scrubs.
Writing is a great way to spend this alone time because you
can express your thoughts while also having a creative outlet. There are so
many different methods that you can use to improve writing skills, such as
journaling, blogging, and writing a short story. Getting your thoughts on paper
can be therapeutic, whether you write about things that are happening in your
life or someone else's life. I hope that
you enjoy some activity to take your mind off what you cannot control. Do you
have a favorite pastime activity?
