Yes I do get chest pain with bronchiectasis. Under my ribcage, under my arm and sometimes around my breast. Not all the time. It's almost like cramp sometimes or a dull ache. I saw a wonderful professor once and he told me pain was common with bronchiectasis patients but they don't really know why. Warm hot water bottle or a wheat bag helps me. If it gets very persistent and painful have a word with the doctor in case it's pleurisy.
Best wishes

Hi there Joyce
Yrs it is 'normal ' i very often have chest pain when I got an infection and even when I don't.
That said the pain was more severe than normal so I had an xray last Wednesday which showed up pneumonia so I went straight on to ivs (intravenous anti biotics) you can also get pain with pleurisy so my advice is if it continues ask for an xray.
Hope this helps.
Get well soon.
