I've been diagnosed with bronchiectasis and my doctor wants me to get some tests done, including Liver Function Test, D-DIMER Quantitative, and Prolactin. I'm a bit confused, are these tests directly connected to the bronchiectasis, or is there another reason for these specific tests?

View allI'm experiencing this weird thing where every time I breathe, there seems to be a sound coming from my lungs, and I start coughing non-stop. Plus, I can't seem to get a good night's sleep because of it. Do you think there's something wrong with my lungs, or could it be something else?
Patient is advised pulmonary function test (PFT)and a chest x-ray .

I'm a bit concerned about a recent x-ray I had for a job-related issue. The report mentioned something about bronchovascular markings in my lungs. I'm wondering if it would help to take an antibiotic course to improve my condition. I have a small amount of breathing trouble, but it gets much worse whenever I catch a cold. Could you give me some advice on what I could do to prevent lung infections?
Bronchovascular markings on an X-ray indicate inflammation or congestion, but antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections; to prevent lung infections and manage symptoms, consider consulting your pulmonologist

I'm experiencing some chest congestion and it's making it hard for me to breathe properly. I don't have a cold, cough, or any fever, but I find myself having to take deep breaths and sometimes even need to open my mouth to get a good breath in. What could be going on here? Any ideas or suggestions?
