Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

@catmom777- Good morning. I am very concerned that you are coughing up blood. I know that it's scary when you see this. I remember the first time that I saw this and thought- not good. Have you been tested for COPD? With your history it might be likely. There are several reasons why a person coughs up blood. Some are not life threatening at all. I just read that you will be calling your doctor tomorrow. It's good that you are on top of this. It's very important not to put off seeking help when your heath changes. Have you had a CT before? What did it show? When was this? Please let me know what you find out. I'm here for you.

I've never had a CT before. A year ago I had a pulmonary function test and although I had trouble breathing into the machine, never heard anything back so assumed all was normal. Now I need to go pick up those results to show my cardiologist when I see him for the first time on the 16th.
Thanks for your message. I struggle every day now. I wake up in the middle of the night and think how just a few months ago I felt good as was healthy. Now I'm a mess.
