Having a hard time breathing... - Great Lakes 4x4. The largest offroad forum in the Midwest

zook94 · October 2nd, 2012, 10:58 PM

I have an appointment with Nephrology at U/M AA later this month. In the mean time, the PA that is responsible for watching my plastic parts and numbers has decided that every medicine that can use my kidneys as punching bags should be cut out.

I had a Pulmonary Function Test at the amateur hour at AA, and got the luck of a medical student, with no supervision. When a real pulmonologist came in, there was a gas they use in their shutter box that was cranked up 4x what they normally run it at.

Well, now my lungs just plain hurt. They feel like I took about 40 breaths that were 2x my lung capacity. I wheeze and crackle through my vocal cords, and I run out of breath doing everything. Brush your teeth, pant for 10 minutes. Climb the stairs, pant breathlessly for 15 minutes, getting extremely overwarm, and feel like I'm going to puke because I can't get any air.

I'm allergic to Albuteral, and Cortico Steroids, so I'm pooched.

Taking bets I'm hospitalized tomorrow? Seems inevitable.

UofM called this afternoon, they are going to refer me to Henry Ford for the immediate future. I found that odd. I asked the PA who called to have the actual doc who is referring me to Ford.

Immortal · October 3rd, 2012, 04:21 PM

Curious. Why odd?

scottie · October 4th, 2012, 08:18 PM
