Moving forward at last! Just the wait for specialist appointment.

Got to my doctors appointment tonight ready for an argument. But once I explained how I have felt and how the water tablets have not made me feel better in anyway many or form. He went over my spiro test again and asked what have the heart doctors said? So I explained again that my heart is ticking okay with the tablets I am on but that is not why I was put on Oxygen the whole time I was there and they did an EP. They would like to see my breathing problem diagnosed before they do a Pace and Ablate. Which will mean 2 procedures and make me Pacemaker dependent.

So he has agreed I have RLD but does not know what else is causing my breathlessness or if it was my 10 year asbestos exposure? I will have to see a specialist and he will get that organised. So moving in the right direction at last.

Did they make you pacemaker dependent? or is it there to assist as and when?

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to Offcut]

Dependant, it has saved my life. My heart was missing a beat every three minutes

[Offcut in reply to KingoftheCocktails]

They said to me because of the treatment and scaring I have now that was my best option anything else could make me worse.

Hope you get things sorted Offcut, its always difficult when the cardiac doc and lung doc don't discuss things with each other. It will be good to get the lung diagnosis before an op just so the medics can take the necessary precautions being aware of lungs and breathing probs.

Best wishes, keep us posted.
