I'm really worried because my recent CT scan and X-ray showed I have bronchiectasis in my right upper lung. There's also something about my lower bowel that's concerning. Could this be why I've been having breathing issues or stomach discomfort? What could these findings mean for my health and are there any specific treatments you would recommend?

I'm having some trouble breathing, but both my chest X-ray and ECG came back normal. They mentioned there's a bit of congestion, and I'm on medication for that. The thing is, my oximeter is reading my oxygen level at 91. Should I be worried about this?
