hey all, well ive been having trouble breathing for the past coupe years. never had any problems till then. i smoked for a couple years but i quit once i had problems. two years ago i moved from the coast more inland. i was feeling normal and being active for the first year, then one days i couldnt catch my breath and had a tight feeling in my chest. this went on for a year and a half. now i dont really have the feeling in my chest its more in my back or abdomen, but its still hard to breathe. i took a basic spirometry test at my docs and it said my lungs were like 97. maybe i did something wrong or was having a bad day that day because when i had my complete pulmonary function test i was pretty much spot on for my age with mild air trapping. the doctor dismissed copd. and think asthma is still on the table. i dont respond to brochodialotors though. so anyway im gettin a chest and nasal ct. because i have alot of drainage and dry bloody nose. i havnt been active at all forever now and lost alot of weight which i attribute to being depressed about it. once i get the ok from the doctor ill start riding an excercise bike everyday and i think that will take care of the dizziness and wierd vision. i know this is long any suggestions?
