My Journey with Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN)

Following up on CT scan results. My pulmonologist saw fluid in my lungs. My oxygen levels are going lower at night. The other night it was 81. Yikes! I’m going to be getting oxygen hopefully tomorrow. My cardiologist just prescribed a water pill.
There has been mention that I have heart failure. Could be because I do have a-fib. The PAN could also be the culprit. I’m just feeling a bit frustrated and scared right now. I live alone and am in isolation because I am extremely immune suppressed. Hopefully I am going to qualify for the new drug Evusheld. I’m waiting for the hospital to call me.

Any update from the hospital? How are you doing?
