Did it take you to break down and see a pulmonary dr?

Hi Hidden .

I'm sorry , what do you mean by "break down"? I think I was referred as soon as they realized my breathing difficulties were not from asthma. So, within a month or two of first mentioning it to my doctor. Are you thinking of seeing a specialist? xx 🌸

[Hidden in reply to Caspiana]

yes I am. My doctors don't seem to think I need to, so I have been following their instruction.

Do you have anything to lose by seeing a specialist?

[Hidden in reply to Caspiana]

my mind!

Do you want some help? If so, you need to give more information.

hey Bella,

So I get this pain under my chest. I did a stress test with cardiologist and that went well. So heart is doin good. Which leaves me to think its my lungs etc. I just lost 4 pounds over night which freaked me out. I am not sleeping through the night as my heart begins to race and it will wake me up. Stressing to see the pulmonoligist for any negative news when all my other docs gave me thumbs up and say its anxiety. So was wondering if anyone else felt that way and if it delayed their appointment etc

Understood. 😊 A day at a time. xx

I have had asthma for around 25years but now it is so poorly controlled despite 3 inhalers that I have been referred to a thoracic specialist by my Dr. Appointment is mid Jan and I hope they can find out what the problem is.
