Hi , I dont know where i have to post this question. I hv long health history but i dont want to waste your time to read my long question.

One month ago cardiologist did my angio graphy and result come that blockage in 3 arteries but dr suggested its not serious and give me medicine. Now from 3 or 4 days i m feeling breathless. Feel like that i have to inhale much oxygen. On the hole of nose i feel less oxygen and i feel no enough oxygen. But according to weather room here is enough oxygen.

One thing i want to more tell u that before angiography i also cannot bend or walk much because my heart feel difficulty to become its normal place after do little work.

Please tell me is it fluid goes in my lung. What happend with me. Because now i cannot speak much with anyone in real life or phone. I become tired. What i do. Please give me your advise.

Thanks

I would get a bit breathless for a few weeks after my angiography and stent. I don't know if it was the procedure or the meds, because my meds have changed since.

I bought an oximeter off Amazon which clips on the end of your finger and reads your blood oxygen level and it suggested everything was normal. It may be something you want to try.

I have oximeter. It often show blood oxygen 95, 94. My cardiologist told less than 93 is not good.

I visit yesterday to my cardiologist. The main problem in my country that doctors dont listen you in detail. I told him i hv breathing problem. He said take half tablet of beta loc zok. Its may making breathing problem. I told him if i take bath my heart become tired. He advised to walk. He said your muscels become lazy. But i dont know why my muscels became lazy. I was not much lazy man in my past life. Today i m feel very much weakness in my body. Feeling i m going to die. Yesterday cardiologist give me vitiman B12.

I dont know why so much weakness became in my body. My life is ruined.

Hi, I agree an oximeter which you place on your finger will give your oxygen level. If your level is too low you will need treatment or change of medication. They cost approx £20 and are an excellent tool for you to keep a check on your 02 levels.

If you have fluid retention you will need water pills - do your legs, feet or abdomen get swollen during the day ?

If so you should speak with your GP.

Being so short of breath may be medication needs amending or even changing.

I feel tired all the time. I cannot do any little heavy work. May be i have swallow on my belly due to fluid retention.

My whole life is disturb. Feel breath is stoping in throat.

My Cardiologist likes 95 or over. I would ask for water pills I’m sure they will help. If your tummy is swollen it will make you feel uncomfortable & also it needs addressing. Excess fluid causes heart to work harder.

I would speak to your GP and cardio team asap and let then know

Could be that things have changed and or you night have an infection

They should be reacting to the fact that the patient knows their body best

So best to check things over

I also have an oxymeter and it is great in helping me with my excercise prog and breathing exercises

Great value too

Take care

I think it’s best to see what your cardiologist says tomorrow, they’ll know all your results and talk through your symptoms, I’m sure they’ll help and reassure you.
