Pulmonary Rehab
Went to Pulmonary Rehab. Lots of good info. Walked a good amount during my 6 minutes. O2 sats etc were good. Met with an exercise specialist, respiratory therapist, and nurse. They all wondered what's wrong with me How I have come to have a FEV1 of 35-37. I am pretty functional for the most part. The respiratory therapist and I talked about panic attacks. I am pretty sure that when I have trouble, I go into a panic attack. She shared her own personal experiences. We were both a bit teary and hugged. I am supposed to keep her updated. Same thing with nurse, she shared her own stories and wrote phone numbers to keep them informed. I just don't know!!!

You are so lucky to have all of these helpers. I went to rehab there were two women there to help. One had been doing rehab for 30 years. But hardly anyone talked. I wanted someone to talk to so much.
What do you not know about? You are very lucky.
Hugs,

Not knowing what is wrong... and as a result not sure exactly what I should be working on1! Both the nurse and respiratory nurse think that I should have something for anxiety. Don\'t really want to take another pill. When I have severe shortness of breath, it usually lasts for 5-10 minutes and it is sudden. Don\'t think it\'s worth it!
