Random Feelings in my chest
Ok for awhile now, probably since November I have been having these PVC's. For the first about 5 months it caused some really bad anxiety and panic attacks. I have since then got those under control. Originally with medicine, Sertraline and Xanax. I decided months ago i was not gonna be a slave to a

Following from my last post I had spirometer today and these are my results. I'm 31 female. Specialist said it's normal but will have more detailed one in a month. Can anyone shed any light do they seem normal? I'm clueless all I can see is that my predicted fev1 should be 8.3 but is 7.8 and I'm worried

Tired of not knowing
Tired of palpitations: I've had palpitations since I've been in my 30's. I'm 64 now. Mine range from tachycardia to PVC'S. They really don't know what they are because although I've worn a Holter monitor 3 times and another thing that I wore for a month, my heart didn't do anything while I had them

My father has a lung function of 47% what can I expect? Will he last a few years?
I'm new to COPD my 62 year old father was recently told he has a lung function of 47% is that the same as Fev1? Also, if I can get him to quit smoking does he still have a few years ahead of him? He currently has no issues breathing. He doesn't get out of breath while moving at all. He can walk around

Don't Understand Readings
Hi I received letter from my hospital appointment and don't understand what it means I feel fine in myself except for when I am eating but think that's unrelated to my bronchiectasis. Spirometry FEV1 2.19 (105% predicted) VC 3.04 (126% predicted) ratio 72% BP 133/75 mmHg heart rate 68bpm resting sats

New here. but concerned that with copd and no financial help has made me return to work. Advice needed please.
Hi. I'm new to this site. In April this year at 49 years old I was diagnosed with severe copd, with an fev1 at 38%. This came as a shock. I also suffer with tachycardia which shows a resting heart rate of between 110 and 146 regularly. I seem to be invisible when speaking to my doctors as the allocated

Improved FEV1.
I just had a peak flow test at my PCP's office and my FEV1 has gone from 46 percent to 75 percent. I do notice that my breathing has improved from three months ago. Can it be the Stiolto causing such a dramatic increase in FEV1? I also feel like I am getting full breaths now with the meds in me. I can

Spirometry Test results
Hi all you lovely lot, I hope you're all keeping as well as can be expected. I have just returned from a week away although I was reluctant to go as I didn't want to leave my mum. She was diagnosed with emphysema and a couple of other things (which seem to change with each Dr we see) and is currently

Words of Wisdom?
Hi! I'm 34yo and started getting PVCs after the birth of my first child (in 2009). My cardiac issues have gotten worse after each baby ( I have 3). I've had many bouts of SVT that usually stop quickly, but 4 times I have gone to the ER. I'm on 25mg of a beta blocker which helps with my PVCs a bit but

Good or bad?
Hi all, I hope posting this is ok but I'm not sure where else to ask: I've been feeling a bit breathless and fatigued this past few weeks. Thought it was because of poor sleep and hayfever (I get post-nasal drip and sore throats). Blew into a spirometer (following all the instructions). The following

Iam confused because if my spiro tests were

Flecainide - usage and dosage
He said he had successfully ablated
PVC
foci in patients whose lives were plagued by thousands of them. Flecainide is organising my signals into runs of tachycardia and he advises not exceeding 200mg daily, so progression will mean ablation.

Hello all you lovely people, I've not posted before but have read many posts to do with COPD and the various types with it, and the treatments etc. I was diagnosed in Januray 2013 following an acute admission to hospital due to extreme breathlessness during chest infection.
