Pulmonary Fibrosis and sudden change in breathing

Posted by HARRY SMITH @francko, Jan 1, 2018

I USE OXY AT NIGHT. MY QUESTION IS THAT THE ONLY TIME I WOULD GET ANY SHORTNESS OF BREATH IS WHEN I WOULD WALKUP MY BASEMENT STEPS AND THAT WAS REALLY MILD. TWO DAYS AGO WHEN I GOT UP I WAS COMPLETLY OUT OF BREATH WHEN I JUST WALK FROM ROOM TO ROOM THIS WAS SO FAST I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS NORMAL HAVING THIS MUCH OF A SUDDEN CHANGE FRANCKO

Looking to connect with someone diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. I just found out I have that, but I am not experiencing any symptoms. It was found in an x-ray of my chest when I had a gallbladder attack. Next step is to see a cardiologist. AM I dying?

@kashanimn I have a feeling you aren't dying any time soon. That is a good opening question for your doctor though. Perhaps once the hole in your heart is repaired; it may lighten the burden on your lungs and the pulmonary hypertension calm down. I do not know much about your condition, but would like to learn more about it. Would you mind coming back on and sharing what you find out? I sincerely hope that everything works out for you.
