New to forums need a question answered if you can
Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and was just looking for some information. For the past 5 days I been having weird sensations and ailments. Getting tired putting on shoes,walking my dog and going up stares. I went to the E.R yesterday so for a bout of SoB I never experienced this before. My labs came back normal, my X-ray came back normal, and my spo2 was 100. They chalked it up to anxiety. It's not that. I'm seeing my PCP today as well.
My question I recently bought a pef fv1 home device and wonder if someone can help me calculate some results?Please I'm scared to death.
Hi
. Welcome to the community! It can be scary when you have symptoms like that and you get no answers. Clearly, something is wrong. You know your body, So, I hope you keep advocating for yourself until you get a diagnosis that you can be confident in. Here is an article about the diagnostic process for COPD and the risk factors: https://copd.net/diagnosis. Maybe you can ask your doctor to run any tests that the ER did not perform. There are many other health conditions that might cause those symptoms, so it is important to keep an open minds. Have you ever had a cardiac workup or blood tests to determine whether you are deficient in any nutrients? I hope your appointment went well today and that you either have answers or you feel like you are working toward them. Keep us posted if you don't mind. We'll be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
