Brief Answer:
yes it is appropriate.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Spiriva is inhaled medicine containing long acting beta 2agonist (LABA) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Both of these drugs are used for chronic airway inflammation and obstruction.
Bronchiectasis is chronic, structural lung disease. So possibility of airway inflammation and obstruction is high.
So Spiriva will be helpful in your case.
Hope i have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
