To be honest I have read this and I have no idea what the h### is wrong with any of you ...just like the drs. !
Jacquie, it is good to know you don't have copd. I am told i do along with empasema (sp ?) I get sob breathe sometimes but he doesn't seem to be as bad as you are. I think the ent would be the one to handle it better since it sounds like your pulmy doesn't have a clue. Did he even apolagize to you for making the mistake about the copd. I'm sure not. Have you ever had a ct scan of the lungs to see if your have lung involvement. If you mentioned it before and I missed it ..sorry.Just trying to figure this out. The pft test I have done in the past are pretty simular,but once I was put in a glass enclosure and told when to take deep breathes and then breathe out as long and hard as I could ,then they gave me albuteral to inhale then repeated the tests after that I had to walk a fast as I could for I believe 5 mins. up and down the hall in the hosp being timed on how far I could go.My tests came back good. Do you live around alot of pollen? That could raise havek on your sinuses ?
I don't know..wish I could help. Hope you feel better soon and that the antibiotic you are going to try to get on helps.
Life isn't about how you survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain !
