Hi I went to see my lung specialist today, I needed some reassurance that my sob was not due to anything other than my mind. I told her about my sudden attack when all of a sudden I could not breath or thought I could not, felt Like I was suffocating, She said
based on pft and ct scan and the fact that I raced my sister home for around A city block and cleaned my apartment for about an hour,
this sob was not due to my lungs but most likely a panic attack and maybe some sort of
sleep apnea. I ask her flat out as to rather I did or did not have copd She said simply probably she said anyone who has smoked for so many years would probably have copd Is she correct?, Based on my numbers On my pft which are
fev1 74
fvc 70
fv3 69
vc 70
tlc 77
erv 67
ic 66
and ct scan she said I should not be worrying so much and if I continued not to smoke probably this would not get to be a problem in the future,Is she correct that copd need not progress, if you do the right thing. my chest congestion and whizzing have gone away and I have stopped taking the flovent and all other inhalants. I was given flonase today for my nasal congestion.
Is flonase good to be on also how long before it works I am told it won't work right away?? thanks Morgan
