Thank you! Lung issues shouldn't be a concern but then anything is possible. I have never been a smoker. :) Would allergies cause so much trouble? Pneumonia & sleep apnea have been ruled out by my dr. But other issues involving my lungs could be involved, I suppose.
My BP has been on the low side all of my life and is only very slightly elevated now....almost normal!! LOL But that doesn't fit the profile for CHF though I suppose there are exceptions to every symptom checklist....
Thank you for responding. I will make sure that they check and do all of these things , though I can rule out anemia since I just had it checked. But I'd like to be prepared for my visit which is one reason that I asked. ;-) Once again. Thank you.
I like your nickname. lol. Im just wondering if they have check you for lung issues? Like asthma? Sleep Apnea? Allergies? Pneumonia?
You describe classic heart failure symptoms, but as you mentioned they can also be a sign of other conditions. One is anything involving the lung and the other is anemia. Those two should be ruled out with a simple xray and blood work and of course you will need to have an echocardiogram to assess heart function because I still think that this is the most likely explanation.
