It seems a lot of people are getting ill moreso aftert this pandemic. I find myself lost between the words. I dont know what to believe. i dont know how much much oxygen is too much, but 24/7 is a bit much on liter 4. The swelling and water weight was a reaction to the hospitalization. I can barely move walk, my energy levels fluctuate my oxygen levels fluctuate. They said i have minimized lung capacity and I dont believe him. He said I could have a hole in my heart. I got upset and decided I wanted to leave and ranted this morning to people. I walked outside and sat for awhile in the heat. Then I could barely walk back to the room, but thats mostly due to the water weight gain and fact i cant move.
I’m going to be switched to a bipap and portable oxygen. I dont have copd. I dont even know whats wrong with me.
Its not because i smoked he said. He said its good that i quit though it makes his job easier. I was told there arent any early signs of lung cancer. I was confused how on a discharge paper or i somehow got diagnosed with COPD but was never actually tested for it. So I took the COPD test and was told its not COPD. that my left lung is positioned unusually high possible birth defect or something thats been gone unnoticed and unaddressed for a long time. he said there is some grey on your heart and he wants to make sure there’s no hole in my heart i did a walking test they raised my oxygen level to 4 from 3 and prescribed me portable oxygen. Idk—I have never checked my oxygen levels what if normal for them is not normal for me.??? Maybe having oxygen levels a 62 is normal for me even though other people would be dead.
I dont have copd and never was diagnsoed with asthma. I just did the breathing test. specialist says he was surprised at the minimal lung capacity i have and how poorly my lungs were filtering out co2. He ordered more tests.
thats more of an inflammatory skin disease linked to immune system. I have charcot-marie-tooth which can make you have stiff muscles, cramps. other types are worse than mine.
Water weight gain is an indicator of cardiac issues. Do you have swelling in the ankles, legs, or abdomen? My first thought is this is very serious and you should be following medical direction as closely as possible.
