Dr appt updates
Saw my pulmonologist on Tues. “Why haven’t you been using your Cpap?” Me: “Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and it’s hard to breathe. I also have had shortness of breath since I had Covid last June after coming home from our trip.” This led her to have me do a 6 minute walking test - my oxygen didn’t

Short of Breath
First of all, I'm not sure when I first had PMR symptoms, or if what I was feeling was something else. That being said, I noticed being short of breath upon exertion in Feb. 2019 and mild muscle weakness. Full blown PMR symptoms hit in Fall that year causing major problems with my upper arm and thigh

emphysema results
hi everyone I have emphysema . Just had a spirometry test and my results are Fev1 =50%/1.16 Fev1/Fev6 =0.67/87% fev6 =62% how bad is this? Does it mean I only have half lung capacity? How is everyone managing at this level?

new to bronchiectasis follow up
I had my consultant appointment today with my usual asthma consultant, my first appointment since my ct scan confirmed bronchiectasis with pseudomonas.

osteopenia worse, im on enoxaparin/ lovenox any thoughts on vitk2?
I had repeat dexascan says my hips are getting worse, anyone on enoxaparin/lovenox taking vit k2 for “calcium to bone absorption”? Docs are talking about fosamex, etc, but I would rather do vitamins if possible. Not looking for medical advice but would like to know if others with APS are taking it

Hello - my 'Mum' has Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Hi. My auntie who I have had a close mother-daughter type relationship for all my life (I'm 50, she's 80) started showing strong symptoms in late 2021 and was diagnosed last year with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. She is now housebound on 24hr oxygen therapy with carers coming in and lots of visits

Do I have COPD?
I have had 2 x-rays and 2 pulmonary function tests. The x-rays show hyper inflated lungs with emphysemic changes, however 2 years in a row I passed the pulmonary function test. I have never had a cough, wheezing or sputum. Also, most of my serum co2 levels have been slightly elevated for the last 7 years

Now we are having to start over with the repairs and upgrades of a different house. and at 80 I was hoping to be done with that. Thank heavens the stress of packing and of the three

Decreasing supplemental oxygen…
Happy Holidays everyone. I came across this article which I believe to be quite significant. I have yet to discuss it with my GP or pulmonologist. My pulmonologist put lung volume reduction surgery (via endobronchial valves) on hold (the previous appt he suggested it) for fear of pneumothorax, whereby

Is Trimbow causing me health problems
So, I have had 3 full blood counts over the last 4 months, seems for some reason my platelet count is very low, had the usual lifestyle questions asked by my doctor and after the latest blood count was told by my doctor that it's all a red herring, my platelet count must be my normal level, sounds plausible

Trimbow eligibility??
ok so I’ll reply to you all on my other post shortly, thank you all for your support!! I was thinking of asking my GP to step down my Seretide from 125/25 to 50/25 because the steroid is definitely doing less for me than the long acting reliever. I was also going to ask to switch back from Atrovent

Lung function test?
I (25F) was diagnosed with SS ten years ago and had a pulmonary function test yesterday. I probably had a lung function test previously, but certainly not like yesterday's. I've been feeling really nauseous since. The dizziness passed mid-afternoon, but the nausea hasn't yet. Just wondering if that's

Elevated PSA due to Tagrisso?
Hi all: My 79 y.o father has been on Tagrisso for nearly a year now. He just had his PSA levels tested and there's a bit of an increase. I'm wondering if anyone out there has had the same experience? (He does have a history of BPH and experienced urinary urgency soon after starting on Tagrisso.)
