Bronchiectasis & COPD: Understanding the Connection 

The early symptoms of COPD often overlap with those of bronchiectasis, making diagnosis more complicated. In fact, some patients are unaware that they have both conditions. Yet studies show that up to 69% of people with COPD also have bronchiectasis, a condition known as Bronchiectasis-Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap Syndrome (BCOS).3

Renowned Pulmonologist Dr. Frederic Seifer explains the growing number of patients living with comorbid COPD and bronchiectasis.

My mom has COPD and bronchiectasis which have landed her in the hospital a lot during the past few months. The doctor finally ordered SmartVest for her and, on the first treatment, she started getting phlegm up a lot easier and feeling like she could breathe better. Just to see a smile on her face after almost losing her this past week is so worth this vest!
