[Jude55]

Hello. I have COPD / Emphysema. Long time having AB . shoulder pain. Had the HIDA Imaging test done. Level was 25%. Is this Normal. My Dr doesnt want to remove gall bladd because of lung function.
Is this Normal ?
Thanx for your help

Have asfictia episode with hard time to recover. Have diabetes, hypothyroidism, benign tumor in my left under clavicle area, high blood pressure. In emergency only euphillin helps but not for long. Episodes happening more often now. Any ideas?

Do you mean that your lung function is 25%? If it is, then it is NOT normal. Functioning at 25% of normal, I can see why your dr does not want to do surgery. It would be very dangerous to undergo anesthetic.  Are you seeing a pulmonologist? If not, then you should. Good luck.
