So I have been in the hospital since Sunday morning. I went to emergency because I had three rapid breathing attacks in one night. They have done an ekg, chest x-rays, cardiac MRI, respiratory panel, pulmonary function tests. Yesterday the cardiologist put in an order for a pulmonary person to come talk to me (after over a month of me saying I can't breathe well someone finally said I should talk to pulmonary for breathing problems!), and respiratory started doing breathing treatments of Albuterol which seemed to help me a lot in the short term. Unfortunately, they don't last but I feel better after they do them. The cardiac MRI found pleural effusion, and said pleurisy may be causing sharp right-sided chest pain....the pulmonary function test made it pretty evident that intense breathing is causing sharp pain that goes through to my back. I don't have any definitive answers yet and have broke down crying in front of the doctors on a couple occasions.
