Patient

Short Bio

3rd year of PF diagnosis.

62 year old grandmother of 1.

Been on oxygen 24/7 for 2 years.

Had right lung collapse, patched and repaired, diagnosis of pre diabetic all in Jan 2019 .  I feel healthier today than I have for 2 years. I had at home PT and started on metformin in January. At my last pulmonary visit in July  Dr said my lung capacity has increased and CT scan showed no progression.  I did just get 4 stents in my heart and  because of my lungs bypass is not a good option. The other parts of my heart that are clogged will be treated with drugs and diet and exercise. I hope my lungs are up to it. I really hate having to take nitroglycerin tablets any time I walk a little. Are others going through heart issues along with the PF?  How do they cope with the angina while trying to workout?
