Well, when oxygen doesn't get to the brain the first symptom is confusion....if your brain continues to not get oxygen you basically go into dementia...where you don't know where you are, what day its, etc etc....so it was pretty easy to figure out.
The chemo doctor is no help. I told him you must know why he is getting this gurgle and why he keeps getting this oxygen thing because it did'nt start until the chemo.....he says I'm not sure Hah!
Next stop...will see his pulmonary doctor next month. Maybe they can give us some answers!
how did they determine just his brain was not getting O2?
my O2 levels show good with the sensor, but i am always short of breath to the point i feel like i will pass out at times.
there could be so many reasons why he is having so many problems with his throat.
i would let him have a break after all he has been through and then figure out what is going on. could be he is having a really hard time relaxing those muscles, i don't know.
keep us posted
