Hello,
I have COPD and I did the exact same thing that you are doing. It's not a good diagnosis but at least I have one. And I'm going to fight this damn disease big time. Good luck please keep in touch.
Hello,
It sounds like COPD. Please get checked right away at least it will ease your mind. Good luck.
Well, as someone who was an RN and is a patient who has been grossly misdiagnosed, I feel your pain.
1. Have you had a v/q scan, with spect?
2. Chest CT with and without angiography?
3. Pfts, including dlco, and lung volumes?
4. Echocardiogram?
5. Cardiac MRI?
6. Abdominal CT with angiography
7. CPET?
8. Right heart cath?
