Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath And Reduced Blood Flow On Stress Test
Husband has been sick for almost 2 months. He has tests done and has been hospitalized. He is a normally healthy 43 yr old B/M, active and exercises regularly(up until the first of April) he began to experience SOB. He went through the Stress Treadmill test and all it showed was a reduced blood flow, he was put into hospital when symptoms didnt improve they gave him Heparin and did some lung tests that cam back negative and also the SOB improved with the Heparin. He returned to work today for modified duty only working 4 hrs after being there and hour he became SOB. We are baffled and need some advice on where to go from here? He has family hx of PAD and CAD. He is on Lipitor for his cholesterol. He has diverticulitis of the colon which is controlled by diet.
