Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 hi everyone , i haven't written lately been feeling depressed. I went to the pulm guy for my very first appt. He seems very nice he said the n ipf wasn't there 5 years ago, according to a scan done back then,,,he sent me for a high resolution ct and full pfts with blood gases including a 6 min walk , which i couldn't finish i was so short of breath, my o2 sats dropped down to 86after 2 mins of walking .the blood gas was 68 ?? Then his nurse called me aand said he wants me to have a sleep study done, my o2 levels were not good. So they sent me the very next night,,, the nurse up there said she couldn't tell me anything about the results, but that i would be back for a cpap appt. to get my o2 levels correct with my new cpap machine... Friday the office called to say my breathing was not good at night and it is severe sleep apnea, i had 239 times where my sats dropped in a hour?? they were below 78. So off i go to the sleep lab for my cpap appt. I go back to the pulmo dude on the 18 of may unless they call me to come in sooner . Everything is happening so fast and i am afraid of what will happen next. This group is my life line,Love to everyone Kay R. ipf.09,gerd,ibs,severe sleep apnea,PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
