Supplemental oxygen can improve the quality of life for some Bronchiectasis/ NTM patients by reducing breathlessness. The determination of whether or not an individual needs oxygen is based on diagnostic tests ordered by a pulmonologist.
Below is information on supplemental oxygen: https://www.bronchiectasisandntminitiative.org/Learn-More/I-am-a-Patient-or-Caregiver/Oxygen-TherapyOxyTalk">https://www.bronchiectasisandntminitiative.org/Learn-More/I-am-a-Patient-or-Caregiver/Oxygen-TherapyOxyTalk is a monthly support group that meet every second Wednesday at 4pm.
