If you’re curious to learn more on the subject, check out this previous episode of the Bronchiectasis & NTM Association Podcast: https://copdf.co/exacerbations-podcast.
In this episode, Dr. Tim Aksamit, Medical Director of the Bronchiectasis & NTM Association, answers the top five questions about exacerbations submitted by the 360social community. Listen to learn how to recognize an exacerbation, track your symptoms, understand the role of the environment, and more.
