- They had me see my cardiologist today and he said it can be a number of things, like we all discussed. And it can also be a part of recovery from PE. Again, I heard it takes a LONG time. And with other medical issues you can have all kinds of...
- I am in a lot of ways getting better. Last week I started Pulmonary Rehab and the therapist concurred that healing takes a LONG time and the pain between my shoulder blades is normal. I'm at a little over six months now and have settled into a...
- I was so thrilled with myself yesterday and all the cleaning i did. Because 24 hours later, I am dog tired. And my heart rate is up somewhat again. However, I did do it. And just a month ago, I never would have been able to. Just have to...
- Last week the doctor said they will be doing a follow-up ECHO at the end of May. They are still concerned with possible pulmonary hypertension. I am also going to start pulmonary rehab on Tuesday. Last night, I had to meet someone down the street...
- I left my ex at the end of 2005. He's in PA and I'm in AZ. Since I've been gone he's gone through one woman after another and they all throw him out. He even married and it lasted 9 months. Was I ready for him to have a life with someone else...
- When I was diagnosed, they also discovered that I had pulmonary hypertension. Hopefully, as I healed the hypertension would subside or go away entirely. We are now at the point where the pulmonologist said we can do another echo. I'm at six...
- Several years ago,the first time I threw my husband out, he insisted that we do couples counseling with a drug counselor. I was willing and we tried. After a month, I discovered that my husband had moved in with some woman he met in a bar and they...
- I go for a long time and do just fine. Then something happens in my life and I miss my ex again. I've been struggling with recovering from blood clots in my lungs and that has my life turned upside down. I left my ex and moved back to Arizona at...
- I get a pain between my shoulder blades. Not all the time, not very sharp; but it's there. More so when I do a little more. Or have a long day. Anybody else get the pain in the shoulder blades. The day I collapsed the sharp pain was in the...
- I felt pretty good this week. Was able to work a little longer. But today, I felt crappy. Short of breath and just run down. My INR is still 2.4 as of Thursday and that is good. But there are still bad days. And, of course, really good days. ...
- I noticed tonight after spending the last few days getting my apartment back to the way I want it, I am covered with bruises. It looks like I've been through the war. Can just imagine what people will think tomorrow. Just another "joy" of...
- I saw my pulmonologist Tuesday. She won't repeat an echo of my heart for pulmonary hypertension until at least June. My pressure at the time of diagnosis was 75 and it should be around 35. Anyway, she told me as she usually does, it takes a LONG...
- After raving about how good I feel. I had a not too great weekend. However, I must qualify that with the fact that I have severe asthma and the last 3 or 4 days where I live we have had wind advisories, pollution advisories and people with lung...
- Still not making 5 full days, but doing more. And they have changed our job function and I LOVE it!!! And I feel a tiny bit better every day. And that makes feel good too. I was so frustrated in the first couple months, but you all were right. ...
- the pulmonologist said I am doing as good as can be expected where I am. I've been making more hours at work and again, she says "listen to your body". I saw the cardiologist today and I'm still grounded from higher elevation and/or leaving the...
