I Am Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

I went to the hospital today to the Respiratory department to do a breathing test and I nearly fainted 10 times taking deep breaths and breathing out again till I couldn’t force it out no more! She is going to get my doctor to order a sleep study on me as well. Last week I did a Holter monitor for 2 days and I caught a couple of dips in my heartbeat while I was sleeping that woke me up. I don’t know what all of these tests are going to prove. That I don’t think I’ll make it to 40? I already told my husband that I won’t be going on vacation next spring with him and the kids because I am too weak my heart is too weak to fly and I just don’t think I can handle it. I think that I am nearing the end of my life.

They ask you to breathe out to see your lung capacity It is called spirometry @saintsong

Oh my breathing test she gave me an inhaler and a couple of these spacers@mysteryespresso
@saintsong maybe she believes you have some breathing problem and she still asked to go for more tests to make sure her diagnosis is correct and there’s nothing else causing the problem. I’m sure if you ask doctor she would be more than willing to explain everything. Doctor patient work as a team.
