Thanks for this webinar: it was good to hear from the top experts on the different types of bronchiestasis and the ongoing research. I have had the condition since I was 13; I had some bad flareups including pneumonia in my early life. I lived in China where the air pollution is challenging. I'm now over 70. I had a bout of Omicron COVID recently, but I manage to keep active, cycling, swimming, running, weights, core exercises, plus daily breath training, qigong, meditation and yoga.

What about the severe pain?

The German verb 'lungern' means 'hang around' in English. People who lunger are waiting for an opportunity to hang on to something or someone.

I have severe bronchiectasis. I'm 50 years old. A third of my right lung is dead. When will the pulmonologist remove it, at what point? I have acid reflux and the acid spills into and consumes my whole lung and feels like my lung has a torch burning inside. It's the same lung that has the dead area in the bottom of it. Never does the acid spill over into the other. Again, what can be done with that lung and what's happening to this damaged lung each time this acid spills into it? Does it need to be removed or does the dead portion need to be remove? Which(if any) needs to be removed?
