My previous post was here. There was a lot to summarize. I recently went in for another Spirometry. For some reason, they didn’t check my DLCo values at all (maybe insurance said no?). I’m wondering if those you on LABAs commonly see improvements on Spirometry tests. I was really nervous thinking I got worse but was shocked by the results. These values are actually better than my 2011 spirometry (see previous post).
I’m feeling a little better after starting Buspirome for my anxiety/panic. But the past couple days, I’ve felt a little weird like there’s constriction in my throat or that my abdomen doesn’t expand as much when taking a breath. But it comes and goes. I’ve been battling near constant burping and acid reflux. It’s probably a contributing factor. I messaged gastroenterology and they told me to up my Omeprazole to 40 mg. But it’s not helping. Oxygen saturation’s been between 97% to 99% during the day, and I haven’t noticed any concerning desaturations. Oxygen’s 90% and above at night. Coughing infrequently and not much mucus. Throat clearing is frequent and will produce mucus. Hard to tell if that’s due to the acid reflux or my lungs. Hoping to get that sorted. Still looking into academic institutions like suggested previously. Just wanted to give a shor update.
