Hi

I can breath much better in this quaint town. Moved here 2 months ago. My friend Bruce is moving to my RV park very soon. WE have come to the understanding that we need each other for medical reasons. If I sit and dont do much, my oxygen is ok, but if I shower or get up to make coffee, my heart rate goes up to 146 or so. This does concern me, but my heart is good. So confusing. Been stuck in my RV for 12 days as my truck broke a driveshaft. Finally got out of the park when Bruce arrived with a trailer with plants. He will bring his RV in 2 weeks. I think 140 plus is too high, but it hurts to breath when it goes high. Nothing I can do, except breathing right. So glad you are keeping an eye on me. Having no family, this makes you my new family. Thankyou for being there.

I am happy to hear that Bruce agreed to move and that you will have each other,
In your initial post, I thought you meant your blood pressure increase came with longer bouts of walking, as exercise. That's pretty high for simply walking through the RV to the bathroom or kitchen area. As you know, I'm no medical expert, but I would guess your blood pressure increases because a lack of adequate oxygen is making your heart work harder. Have you found a new pulmonologist yet? If so, it would be a good question to ask. I wonder if slowly introducing more light exercise or changes in your supplemental oxygen might help.
I always enjoy chatting with you. I'm glad you joined the community. Sending bunches of gentle hugs your way. - Lori (Team Member)
