So, I have a question about reading FEV1. The printout says 35% then there is the post dilator (albuterol) it says +12%, does this mean that the 35% is before the albuterol but post albuterol the number is 47%, or is that 35% after dilator? How does that work.
Also, I just bought a super cool eliptical machine wihch so far I feel lucky to make 10 minutes on without my heart wanting to pop out my lungs. Any thoughts on how to ease into its use? and increase my stamina. I have been using a stepper, and walking, but this is more exercise then Ihave ever had.
Now the confusing part. Three weeks ago my DH and I went to see a high risk OB doc about having a baby. My numbers as you can tell by above post are low, so he was very negative, you know talking about dying, yada, yada. And we left there knowing that we would have to chose an alternate route, so we are thinking gestational carrier. Anyway he had me go through some tests, ECHO, ECG. Now I find out I might have Pulmonary Hypertension, test to be done Jan. 4. Today we went back to OB doc and we said we have accepted how things are and we would like to pursue other routes to become parents, and he looked at us like we had three heads between us both. He literally hurried out of the room, said he had to talk to his colleagues, then comes back and says well, we can't really say until we know about the Pulmo Hyp. He also commented on how strong we were, guess that comes with the CF territory. My husband and I are just plain confused, three weeks ago he left me crying leaving the office, and now he seems wishy washy. So what now, he is giving me hope pending the Pulmonary Hyp, issue. UGH. If I were to have a baby I sure would get another doc.
But anyway we decided it wasn't worth hurting me further to have a baby, just for me to experience pregnancy. We want to be a family, and I want to enjoy all of it.
Anyone know or have Pulmonary Hypertension? All info leaves me a bit scared.
Thanks for reading!!
