Pain and breathlessness. Specialist says I'm not breathing properly. He has referred me to physio for breathing correctly!

I had a heart bypass op some 20 years ago. I've been diagnosed with my left diaphragm not working properly. Other specialists have said it's asthma and yet another specialist said I've got lung disease. I can only push out 200 to 250 on plastic thingy, sorry forgot what it's called, and have pain and tightness on my left just under ribs all day and night. I also can't have dye tests as I have allergy to dyes.

I just don't know how to proceed.

The appt. with physio isn't even face to face so what can she do???

Hopefully the physio appointment will at least be on a video call. Breathing exercises can be really very very beneficial (there are lots of videos on youtube).Good luck with the appointment Soundwell, let us know how it goes. P
