    Hi think this happens when you have an infection. Best to ask your consultant . But 95 is excellent for someone with bronchiectatis .

    Hi.

    Mione appears to stay steady. I've had an infection for about 10 weeks now and when taken it's at 98 ish.

    Good luck John

    Mine jumps aroung as well 95 - 89. It depends on what I've been doing or how much I've been coughing.

      Joycemadine,

      I don't like for it to get below 89, that usually means I'm getting an infection, so I become proactive and start on an antibiotic. When I'm at my best, it's 95.
