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? |
