My son turned 18 on the 24 of March . A few weeks before he had two sweat tests , 64 and 57. We went this week for a PFT and CT Scans of his lungs and sinuses. I have suspected for a few years that something was wrong. He would get sick when he tryed to run continuously and he would get a headache and nauseated when he would go a long time without eating. The tests we had this week are for him to go to a local CF Center to see a doctor there. I have no idea what to expect. This is all new to us. Is there any one who has had a teenager diagnosed with possibly the same symptoms as my son? What does the PFT test reveal and why CT Scans? Oh I also have a new MD so not alot has been explained to us. My last MD would not listen to me when I asked him for the sweat test so I'm beginning a new relationship with another primary care doctor. It's like they take one look at my son and because he looks healthy they don't believe he could have CF. My last MD said he thought he had stomach migraines. However they are not with him when he is sick!! As his mother I have known something was not right for a few years now. My husband and I also have a daughter 20 who seems to be healthy. Do doctors usually test siblings when CF is discovered in one child? I just have alot of questions?? Can anyone help??
