Guest guest Posted December 31, 2002 Report Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hi Everyone: I have a question for scleroderma patients, or anyone else who may have this problem. I recently completed an echocardiogram on the heart and a CAT scan (without the injection of the dye) for the lungs. Both indicate that the heart is functioning well, no fibrosis and no scar tissue in the lungs. Glad for that, but here is the problem, In doing the other tests, where I do activity and my oxygen levels are measured, my oxygen levels decrease when I'm active, and I can feel the difference. I had a muscle enzyme test to determine if the muscles were not getting enough oxygen and that is also negative. Now my doctor is suspecting that the problem may be on the cellular level and that my cells are not getting enough oxygen. I go for tests on this area on Thursday. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Any suggetions, etc? Any scleroderma patients also experience this? Thanks for your replies, Roni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
