I have
COPD type symptoms, shortness of breath, oxygen therapy, just don’t have the lung volume I should. For some time, Drs. have said my left lungs lower lobes were showing little to no activity or movement. I kept prodding Drs. and recently they requested the barium swallow test, this revealed a raised diaphragm, compressing the left lung. The next step is to do a upper GI endoscopic search. Scheduling has that placed out six weeks. I am open to any suggestions, have idiopathic neuropathy also, so suffer multiple directions. There are no outstanding neurologists in my area, have foot pain, causing me difficulty walking. With the lung issues, it has affected my life dramatically, I am a rancher, live alone. Makes life painful, emotional, saddening.
