Shortness Of Breath

[kilpelaj]

Vync,

Thanks for the welcome,

I am waiting for my PFT report from the va, the notes on "myhealhevet" state that Expiratory flow is within normal limits based on FEV1/FVC.

Lung volumes are 130% predicted based on TLC.

One breath carbon monoxide diffusion capacity is within normal limits.

Spirometry airflow loops are otherwise within normal limits.

So with what appears good lungs, i'm a little concerned. I have shortness of breath with activity, yet my lungs are fine. I know it is not the final, and that I need to make sure that i get this figured out instead of allowing it to be swept under the rug.

At your age this may be a bit of a reach but your symptoms are very similar to someone with congestive heart failure. You may want to ask your primary doctor if that is possible

Many breathing problems with Lisinopril well documented on internet. I had shortness of breath when I walked. Turned out that I had a blockage in my anterior artery and got a stent to fix.

It has been my experience that I do not accept off the cuff medical opinions I investigate any concerns till I am satisfied with the medical opinion.
