Yes, we are experiencing the effects of the volcanic ash. It has altered alot of flight plans, etc. Big headlines here too!
Bon Jour ): and the best!
Thanks for the swift reply!
(on a random note: I re read my above post and OMG, so many typos... I guess thats what happens when you only get 3 hrs of sleep! )
Anemia is what one would think, given that I am always tired and have chronic kidney disease too... but strange enough, iron is perfect! I had my nephrologist check my ferritin levels and HgB also, its all very optimal. Weird, eh?
I had some blood work done yesterday, lets see what it shows...if the anomaly persists, I will definitely go to hematology.
Thanks again for the replies.
Have an awesome weekend!
PS: You guys in Paris seeing any of that ash from Iceland' ? it is making big headlines here in North America!
Definitely go for your PFT(pulmonary function testing) to rule out any lung issues. I don't think it is a cardiac issue or a pulmonary issue.
Your family physician didn't order an Iron Panel for you because of the abnormal RBC, MCV and MCH counts? Sounds like you are anemic. Anemia can cause shortness of breath.
Lastly, if the pulmonary testing comes back clean/ok, I would then request the Hematology referral. I think that your primary problem is that you are anemic or have some sort of hematology problem.
Keep us posted.
Well, I has a checkup at the cardiologist because recently it was found out that I have all the risk factors that could have cause an imminent heart attack. At 24 yrs of age, that is... how fun!
But he has given me green flags, no heart troubles. He things if has to do with lungs. I have no idea but I am suffering quite a deal with shortness of breath.
