Hi, Mike
I see your text to alex00. I have had the HRCT and BO is what is is showing. I have asthma, have had it for at least 15 years. This year I went for pulmonary function test and it was about the same as last year, but I said, that can't be right. I am so short of breath and unable do all the things I was doing before the beginning of this year. And the fatigue is overwhelming. Walking any distance is out, just running the vacuum cleaner has to be portioned into stops and starts. So they said - well you have asthma and if your lungs are inflamed from it, it's normal to have some shortness of breath. Your oxygen looks good. But we can do the 6 minute walk and your oxygen should be fine and it will show it's the asthma. We got to the end of the hall and my oxygen had dropped from 97 to 87. They sat me down and then re-walked and this time 83. Then we waited and tried it with oxygen. All was fine. I was sent home with portable oxygen and sent for CT scan the next day because it could have been a blood clot. The long and short of it, after a bunch of tests and scans, is BO. If Alex is going for an HRCT, it will show clearly anything and everything that might be happening. And I will see if I can find the bronchiolitis Facebook page. Thanks for that info. Jean
