Bronchiectasis
Is this permanent or reversible if caught in early stages? How is it going to affect my life in the long run? I am just 27 and this got diagnosed. I understand i need to take more precautions and also be under medications for excaberations, but did this happened cause I delayed my chest imaging for a month and hence this happened? I was scared of cancer and as a result i kept on delaying the scans for 2-3 weeks. I regret that. How serious is this disease and if it is due to infective cause, after treatment is it reversible?
Can I go to gym? And what vaccinations should I take annually!

Hello. Bronchiectasis is not a reversible disease. In the long run whenever you catch infection you may suffer from dyspnea, excessive sputum production and Haemoptysis. You have to take more precautions than normal people. Yes you can go to the gym. It will be advisable to avoid heavy weight lifting. For prevention influenza vaccine is recommended yearly.
