Trying to decide between Breztri and Stiolto inhalers.

@tcarson52 why did they do a right cath if nothing showed up on echo? my echo showed borderline increase in pulm pressures. Wondered what they recommended to take. concerned because 1-3 yrs is not a good outcome. I wouldn’t be doing a pft test. that can really be hard on heart i would think.
I think my breathing got worse after a stress test. Would you please let me know what your future plans/meds are. I appreciate your reply. thanks.

@lizjlb because on a CT I had in hospital it said extensive calcium build up in arteries. I read that and made appointment with cardiologist. He is the best. Did the echo it said no PH but he went farther and did the heart catheter test which showed the pressure in both arteries were up. My BP was also high. I didn’t have bad restrictions from calcium but did have PH. I’m on 2 meds to lower BP and help my heart beat slower so not such a strain

@tcarson52. thanks. please, what are those meds. ? your regular blood pressure was high? or is there a different blood pressure in lungs? my reg blood pressure has always bet. hood around 120/73. ??

@lizjlb my SOB was different. I kept telling doctors but no one really listened. I followed up on a CT test I had which lead to cardiac dr which lead to heart catheter test. I was put on 2 medications and it helped a little.

@lizjlb mine had always been good as well until this it went to 160 or 150.
The meds are Farxiga 5mg & Entresco 24mg 2x day I take the generic of course.
Bp now is 113.
How are you feeling?

@tcarson52 appreciate all your reply’s to my questions. how was your breathing different? did you have any chest pains or back pains?

@lizjlb my back is always hurting, it’s impossible for me to stand and cook sometimes. Been to chiropractors but didn’t seem to help much but maybe I didn’t go enough. I have 5 budging disc.
It’s hard to describe how breathing was different. It was like I had a block in my lungs that stopped my breath short of where it used to be. Also I used to be able to let’s say vacuum one day and it would be hard but if I did it every day it would get easier now it seems it’s the same hard each time. I’m not sure if my SOB is due to the lungs or PH . Dr says both. I need to exercise more I know I just get tired of trying I think. I do use my lung exerciser every day. It’s a ball like thing where you get resistance blowing in and out. You move up levels as you progress. That has helped a lot.
