Had a pft as I was just recovered from influenza a. My score fev1/fvc was 68% post bronchodilator. It was 73% at the start of the year. I was also on SSRI medications and agomelatin which caused serotonin syndrome. I believe these drugs can also damage lung function. My oxygen carbon dioxide exchange was excellent.
My question is can I get back to 73% or close to it or is this it? If so it seems my condition is progressing rapidly. There was also dymista prescribed which has helped a bunch with some of the nasal irritability/congestion.
The SSRI drugs also caused serious seizures requiring admission to ED. Seeing a neurologist in the coming weeks. Seeing my cardiologist Monday as well. Hope to start pulmonary rehab and get back into gym and surf as I can.
Pulmonologist doesn't think I have hypersensitivity pneumonitis but to cover all bases and with the history it has been decided to really monitor things closely. This is a second opinion as well. I even told them about the weed and tobacco exposure, mold, birds etc.
Anyways thank you all and much love and healing to everyone. ❤️
