Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory condition that can cause a variety of symptoms, but the most common one is a persistent cough with thick, sticky mucus. This is due to the airways being obstructed, leading to mucus buildup and difficulty breathing. Other symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, fatigue, and recurrent infections.
