angelloz Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Very interesting...so many problems...so much to think about, how many things tie together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellgirl Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks Tachy...very interesting. Maybe that's why I feel horrible after exercising or during, too. I'm finding lately I've had trouble breathing in the warmer weather after singing, too! That exercises the lungs. I'm talking with my doctor about it next Thursday.

bellgirl Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have asthma, but this is very different than that kind of shortness of breath. I am not wheezing. There is a tightness, that I haven't quite experienced before, which is starting to concern me. I'm on a cardio-selective beta blocker and have been for a while now, so I don't think it's related to that. It could be blood pooling in the lungs, because I've actually coughed up blood before, when I had no upper respiratory infection or even asthma, but that was about 8 and a half years ago, before I was diagnosed, so maybe I'll need a pulmonary function test. When I was tested in my sleep study, my O2 saturation was fine, but that was almost 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 "because I've actually coughed up blood before"Yep I think that needs checking, given you had no obvious infection, could it be delicate blood vessels?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellgirl Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yeah, Anna, it was the most bizarre symptom I've ever had...going to the doctor tomorrow, am having an echo and a stress test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
