I was diagnosed 4 months ago with copd.. and discovered that i have diabetes and high blood pressure a couple of weeks ago.. and if your like me.. you're feeling overwhelmed right now.. it's ok..we have a lot of changes happening and it will continue.. but you've found this board and the folks here are great..now you won't feel quite as alone as you have..remember to breathe :)

A couple of weeks ago , I was taken to the ER..Sob and chest pain..lucky for me the Dr.there decided to keep me over night.. even though all the numbers were fine..next day had bad chest pains and pressure..EKG showed problem on right side.. all tests before showed everything was fine..copd and panic attacks were blamed.. i disagreed and argued with Dr. they finally did a heart cath..and surprise!! i had a 70% blockage in the right coronary artery..next day a stent was put in...i don't consider myself a heart patient.. even though i'vehad to modify my diet even more..i consider myself to have a stronger heart..so i should be able to love more..Right?? Still doing exercises although i'm having to build back up again..Don't get me wrong.. there are some days that are more of a struggle than others but I have to look toward the possibilities of tomorrow.. Think I'll try Tai Chi..worth a try anyway...
