Suggest Treatment For Breathing Problem
Question: Hi Doctor,
I am doing okay, I started to do the first flight of stairs in my building to get outside. It's a big deal for me because I wasn't able to do it before. I am getting a lot of help from the Occupational Therapist I work with.
Still not able to get to doctors appointments since I am not cleared yet to go out. It's coming though I know it is. My 02 levels and pulse have been good even with movement climbing stairs, walking in my apartment etc..
Hope you are doing well and once again I am so appreciative for all your help.
Happy New Year!!!

Brief Answer:
This is good that you are improving.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your direct query on HCM.
It's always wonderful to hear back from you.
It's good that you are improving.
I am so happy that I contributed in your improvement.
It's really satisfying for doctors.
Try to consult pulmonologist and discuss about PFT, CT thorax and 2d echo.
And I guess previous question is still alive. Is it so? I am asking this because you asked new direct query.
And Happy New year to you too.

As soon as I am able to see a Pulmonologist I will discuss the PFT, CT thorax and 2nd. echo. I am still home bound until further notice from my occupational Therapist. I need to continue to work on building my stamina before i can get out.

Hi Doctor Bhavsar,
I got into trouble for asking to many questions. I was subscribed to unlimited questions yet they cut me off saying I was abusing healthcare magic. From my prospective you were really helping me with my lung problem so I wanted to continue with you. There were no thoughts of abusing this system. As I told you I can't get out to see a Pulmonologist because I am home bound right now. I am making a great deal of progress using the three flights of stairs in my building to get to the front door. I am working with my Occupational therapist. I am afraid of losing my breath on the way up. This is a big fear I have and it keeps me from using the whole stair case. I am in the process of getting a portable oxygen concentrate to help me with this.
Is there anything else you can recommend that I do to help me with the stairs?
Thank You
