I am OK
Thank you for your concerns over not being on the site for a while. I am Ok but due to commitments have not been able to come up on the page as often as I would like. I have been discharged by my respiratory consultant. My fev1 as improved from 57% to 64% and my exercise programme continues. Still not

Second ablation?
Hello, new here, I am contemplating a second ablaton and have some fear of it. Had one in 2013 worked some for about a year, steadily continue to have increasing episodes. They are not near as severe as they were before the ablation, but they can still knock me down pretty hard. The anxiety sometimes

Smoke and Mirrors!
Hi. Yesterday, at a pulmonary rehab session I asked what my FEV1 score of 55% means. I was told it is 55% of an estimated predicted mean figure. When I asked what the predicted mean is, I was told that information isn't available! Now I understand personal health information has to be transparent but

RVOT Ablation
Hello, I am scheduled to have a RVOT Ablation in a couple weeks and and wondering if anyone can share their own experience with me...the good and the bad. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for the process and having a lot if anxiety because of it. I'm scared to have it done and maybe more scared

Fev1 ?
Hi All hope you are all ok. I have a question regarding Fev1. It is calculated on what is predicted, although what is that. For instance if your lung capacity is supposed to be 4 liters would Fev 1 be an amount lower than that. or are you expected to empty your lungs in 1 second? Regards

FEV1 - what does it mean?
Hi, this is my first post here and not got a diagnosis yet but having tests done and hoping all is ok. Is it a good thing to have an FEV1 value above the normal range? It was 138 and I read that normal range is between 80% and 120%. In the process of trying to work out cause of breathing problems.

To call ambulance -- or not?
I notice that almost everyone indicates that they are aware when an AF episode occurs, and that there has been a lot of advice to call an ambulance when the episode is particularly rough. While only occasionally I've felt what I assume to be AF -- a sort of mild fluttering -- I'm very aware of frequent

Do those who check their fev1 levels have big differences in the morning vs. night?
Hi again y'all. I have noticed ... at least with my monitor... that my fev1 varies (sometimes drastically) when I check it in the morning, then again at night. Is this normal? I mean I'm not blowing in this thing constantly, but wanted an idea of my levels during the day. So I have checked for a week

Heart all over the place
I have been experiencing pvcs and pacs for 15 years , also about an episode of slow svt or two per year. Lately my pvcs and pacs have increased to at times several within a minute at times, and occasionally when I get up from laying down either my heart rates speeds up to over 100 bpm or more oddly slows

First panic attack since surgery
I tried. To get out of the house today. So what better place to go than with my husband to the farm he works for. The ride was wonderful. I did my best not to cry because I was enjoying the view. I had taken some meds to break my constipation since I haven't gone in a few day due to pain meds and surgery

The update...
So after doing the 2 week event monitor the cardiologist LAUGHED!!! yep.. She said she does not know WHY my regular doc even ordered it.. yes I am having lots of PVCs but my rhythm is great and the bradycardia is what it is... WOW!! She went on to explain (this is a cardiologist) that anxiety is real

fed up with fev1 rating
Had my appointment with pulmonary nurse today, and again had to explain that I had non obstructive copd. ct scan shows considerable damage (60% loss of lung surface area) dlco (gas exchange) 39% classed as severe gold stage 4. fev 1= 105% expected (no obstruction) Almost impossible to find any meaningful

Can't make sense of recent lung function test.
Hi guys, new here and looking for some advice. Had a lung function and VO2 max test done last week as part of an overall medical test and I am somewhat confused by the results. I am 35 years old, 185cm tall and weigh a lean 85kg. Here are my results: FEV1 127.1 % FVC 121.1 % FEV1/FVC ratio 86.7 %

A little update!
Today I had spirometery test and it was fev1 - 70%. The nurse then gave me four bursts of an inhaler and did the test again and it was fev1 - 79%. She then said that is only borderline and isn't going to prescribe any treatment. I did the dreaded google thing again at home (I know I shouldn't lol) and

Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself....
Hello Everyone. My Mum is 80, was diagnosed with COPD four or so years ago after increasing respiratory problems. At that time she lived in London. After a couple of hospital admissions for falls she was given an oxygen concentrator at home and some meds and pretty much left to it. I should add at this

I'm confused!
I supposedly have Paroxysmal AF, and take Flecainide morning and night, and Metoprolol and Xarelto at night. My cardiologist is not good at explaining and seems impatient when I ask. Perhaps someone here can help? When I try to go the PIP route with Flecainide, I find that by late afternoon I am

Waking up anxious this morning
I haven't had anxiety to wake me up in a very long time, but this morning I woke up having PVCs. Usually I deal with those okay. They've been happening so long that I'm used to them, but I've never had them wake me up before. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to start taking magnesium, but I'm
