Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 So it was not the PFT that says you needed OK. Might be much better now. Would be interesting to retest. Fluid in lungs can make them stiffer and not move as well. Dr Grim, catching up on my backlog an you once asked if I was DXed with a PFT and that is the case, FEV1: 65% pred, FEV1/FVC:65%. Nephrologist explained thay emphysema was confirmed if these numbers were less than 70%. She also confirmed that it was a very slight case and probably wouldn't even been brought up if I hadn't need O2. - 64 yo morb. ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank & testicle pain. I have decided against an adrenalectomy at this time since Meds. are working so well. Current BP(last week ave): 123/69 Other Issues/Opportunities: OSA w Bi-Pap settings 13/19, DM2. and PTSD. Meds: Duloxetine hcl 80 MG, Mirtazapine 15 MG, Metoprolol Tartrate 200 MG, 81mg asprin, Metformin 2000MG and Spironolactone 50 MG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I thought about that Dr. G. and wondered if that is a possibility. I pretty much had Dr. Shojaee overwhelmed at that point so I didn't persue but think I will just for my own piece of mind. O2 was first DXed my sleep study and later by PCP with an Oximeter. - 64 yo morb. ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank & testicle pain.
