Tomorrow, I'm seeing my first specialist since all of these symptoms began. I am seeing a Pulmonologist because of my shortness of breath, pain in my lung area (no fluid, though) rapid heart rate, pain in neck/carotid arteries and pressure in chest. At first, the GP thought it was asthma, but I'm not so sure.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice as to what I should be looking for or questions for the Pulmonologist? I'm having Pulmonary Function Testing tomorrow (May 1st).
Thanks all!
Gina
