Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hi everyone, I read all the posting but don't normally post, but I have a few questions after seeing my pulmodude yesterday and I'm hoping you can help me. I have been seeing my lung dr. for about 10 years now for asthma and about the last 8 months I've been getting worse. He started running test and noticed my 02 was dropping, so now I'm on oxygen 24/7. He also did ekg and said that was not normal, so he sent me to a cardio dr. because he thought I had pulmonary hypertension. After many tests and a heart cath. later, cardio said I had pulmonary fibrosis and that I was hypoxic. My pulmodude does not believe I have fibrosis because he has done several CT's and x-rays and has not seen anything. So he called the cardio. she repeated what she saw again and also she put it into a report. Anyhow, now my lung dr. is scheduling me for a V/Q scan and a couple of blood test because he doesn't believe I don't have PH....does this sound normal to you....Also, they did three ABG's in the same day and they started at 87 and ended with 82. Lung dr. said he has never seen someone's blood gases doing that...I would appreciate any thoughts you have...I'm trying to understand what is going on and if any of you have gone through this. Hope to talk with you all. Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
