Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Are you saying fulid retention from PA wouldn't be a cause of atelectasis? > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I am told CFH has been ruled out. I do have pitting edema in lower legs. Right side more then left. I do understand that not taking a deep enough breath can show up as atele. What I have a hard time understanding is it just being over looked. > > > > > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Only Meds I now take are ATENOLOL 25MG TRIAMTERENE 50MG POTASSIUM CHLORIDE 20MEQ FUROSEMIDE 60MG TAB. Have tried to take Diltiazem but they seem make me feel worse. > > > > > > > > > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Don't have varicose veins. Have been told edema could be due to weight. Was never a problem until SX started. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Maybe a better way to put it is I am eating more salt then my body can handle. With PA even the 2400 MG of salt that is the recommend amount is to much. My problem is triamterene and furosemide remove sodium. If I cut down to much on salt I would also have to cut down on the meds. Since my Dr doesn't understand PA it would be up to me to reduce the meds. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 To much for your body means even it you blood sodium is within normal limits it is still to high for you. This seem to be what is misleading. One would think that to have a problem blood NA would have to be higher then normal. The lab range I have is 135 to 145. The first test I have is 138 the last is 142. I also have this Prior to 11/30/2000 reference range was 140-148 mmol/L. So the lab changed there range. Can not find any record on my urine NA being checked. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 When I look up ATENOLOL on drugs.com it does say it can cause swelling of hands and feet. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Could atelectasis be caused from PA?
