My trip to the pulmo dude today

[Guest guest]

Well, they've added yet another d/x. This time it's asthma! Doc says he's

contacting the O2 company and telling them, not only leave the concentrater but

add O2 for when I go out. He said use the concentrater around the house and use

the tank the rest of the time.

I'm so glad I have my Air Family! I never would've thought to get an oximeter.

When I showed him the charting, he decided that I need to be on O2 24/7.

As far as the CPAP goes ,,,,,, He read the report from the studies I had a year

ago that the previous doctor ordered. He feels that the apnea isn't severe

enough to need it right now. He said watch what I eat, Don't eat after supper,

Lose weight, see him again in October. He ordered a catscan for just before our

next visit.

Sounds like you may well not need a CPAP but certainly oxygen while at

sleep. With the bouncing diagnoses and the near disastrous removal from

oxygen, I would certainly recommend a second opinion at a good teaching

hospital with an ILD department.
