I am a newly diagnosed case of bronchiectasis. So far, no NTM present. Yesterday, all of a sudden, I had severe chills, body aches, fatigue, and fever. As the afternoon progressed, my chest and entire abdomen started to hurt, and it was somewhat painful to take a deep breath. It was incredibly painful to cough. I went to an urgent care, where they did an X-ray that did not indicate pneumonia or anything else abnormal. They also ran a urine test to check for UTI. A sputum sample from about two weeks ago had indicated haemophilus, which my pulmonary doctor chose not to treat because I was feeling okay. The attending PA at Urgent Care prescribed doxycycline, which I started to take last night. Today, the fever is mostly gone, and the pain has subsided. No issues breathing. The fatigue is still present but not as bad 24 hours ago. My question is, is abdominal and chest pain, radiating also to my back, typical of an exacerbation? I have never had that sort of pain before, it was intense, and I was rather scared. Any advice on your experiences is appreciated. Thank you.
