Jade123 Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 I wrote a longer intro post yesterday but want to write a much shorter one with my specific questions, hoping for some guidance! I have failed four pulmonary function tests that say I have a restrictive airway disease. Shortness of breath is my #1 symptom and is completely disabling for me, more so than the tachycardia, low BP, etc. I also have a mast cell disease (MCAS.)My questions are:- Does anyone else deal with this level of SOB and how do you cope with it without losing hope?- Have others failed a PFT test and been diagnosed with a restrictive airway/lung disease? (I do not have asthma)- Can this level of SOB (requiring a wheelchair and PFT's at 70% of normal) be related to dysautonomia or MCAS?Thank you in advance for any replies. There is so much wisdom on this board and I have been reading a lot of posts from prior years which have been very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
