Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. The conditions you have mentioned have immunological basis. So they all might be connected but till date there is no syn Chat Doctor.  These need research before stating common etiology. I advise you to consult immunologist and discuss these. And treatment options for bronchiectasis are inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), chest physiotherapy, deep breathing exercises, bucolic, expectorant
