May I ask how far your oxygen drops when walking?? I have a pulse oximeter but I was told that when your walking it is not accurate because I’m moving or moving my finger?? I was told you had to be still.

When I hear about shortness of breath, I always ask, what people mean by that, exactly? Like does it feel like omg I’m breathless? Or like I can’t take a deep breath? Or combination? And do most people feel like I have to stop to catch my breath? I know all people are different and it progresses differently but do most find it hard to breath…[Read more]

I have seen 3 cardiologist to rule it out. My rapid heart rate started and then 2 days later shortness of breath. My heart rate is fine unless I am walking or standing up. I…[Read more]

Do heart rates go up and down with IPF?? Example: my HR only goes up when I move, stand up and walk. It goes back down immediately when resting or standing still. Down to as low as 54 sometimes.

I noticed my heart rate goes up even if I just roll over in bed. Or just cough, or move a little. I can be sitting and if I even move my leg it goes up. It comes back down quickly when I stand still or sit. It goes down to as low as 54 sometimes. I feeling like flip flops as well. My pulmonologist says everything is normal. What is normal? What is…[Read more]

I am in the US and to be honest I do not know which % or numbers are the most important on a PFT. My pulmonologist never explained my 2nd PFT test. The only part I seen marked A for abnormal was the RV/TLC amd mine was a 26 and predicted 35. How I understand it is that I don’t have enough left over air volume????? I don’t know. My pulmonologist…[Read more]

@christie-patient I do not have any digestive issues other than from when I had gastric bypass back in the 90s. I do have some constipation but I am anemic and take iron. I sometimes feel full but im.not sure if its because I lost 56lbs since September. I walked a lot. I do have a hiatil hernia.

Oh! Well a hiatal hernia was one of the things I was thinking of! My guess would be that your symptoms are related to that, as it is a disruption in the diaphragm, between the stomach and lungs. The stomach bulging into the chest cavity could explain the shortness of breath, full feeling, trouble breathing deeply, and the heart flutters. If I were…[Read more]
