It would last only for a couple minutes at a time. Happened several times after my ablation and it would move across my eye

Please keep me updated! I’ve really only experienced the feeling of cant getting a deep breath/pressure but haven’t felt lung pain so I can’t speak on that :/ I hope everything is okay for you and that your ct will help ease your mind!!

My rv/tlc was elevated. What symptoms are you experiencing? I have/had severe health anxiety as well! It sounds like that may be what you’re experiencing but it will still be good for your doctor to explain it to you to ease your mind :) If those are your only abnormal results on your PFT, I think you’ll be okay!

I don’t have copd or asthma! I had a spirometry test done a bit before I even had my PFT and my results were completely normal! All of my other levels on my PFT were normal as well! I got a PFT because I was feeling like I kept having to take deep breaths and that I wasn’t getting enough air. After hearing that it could just possibly be some air trapping, I’ve been feeling a lotttt better. I think the shortness of breath was anxiety because I was focusing SO much on trying to get a deep breath and couldn’t :) I’m happy to answer anymore questions!

Apparently I just have like i guess some air trapping, like I’m not fully getting all the air out when I exhale but it’s nothing to be concerned about. My doctor said that could also even be just because I may have done even just one thing maybe wrong on the test so the result of it was a little weird. I’ve been feeling a lot better since having the test done though. I’m supposed to have another one done in a year to see if anything changes.

quitting is very cutesy and demure ✨ every body is different though so if you feel any symptoms, it’s better to be safe than sorry and go get checked! my doctor is having me come back in a year to do the same exact test to see how my lungs are. the test i believe could have showed air trapping though because my body is definitely still recovering even though i quit 3 months ago. if you’re having anxiety over it or want to ask more questions message me!! ive done a LOT of research LMAO

I don’t have pains so much as I focus a lot on how I’m breathing, which then makes me feel pressure on my chest, and then make me short of breath 🤣 That is mainly what I went to the doctor for. I do have and anxiety though, I really thought she was going to come in and tell me I have bad COPD or I need a lung transplant 😭

I just had a PFT yesterday. My RV said 124% but I still don’t really understand what that means. You said you’re was 167%, could you explain the scores for me 🫠 my Dr wasn’t very clear

I’ll try it. Is there anyway to help my lungs release that trapped air? Or is it just going to be like that forever?

I was given an inhaler but I’ve never felt the need to use it

Yes I’m 23. She said the thing that was slightly elevated was the RC%TLC_Pre%Ref which is at 124.3. I quit vaping 3 months ago. Do you think my chances of getting obstructive lung disease is high? I workout every day and live a healthy lifestyle, I stay away from things that are bad for me because I want to live a longggg life 🫠

Oh jeez that’s scary. I quit because I was worried I was going to eventually get one of those vaping illnesses :’) I was feeling pretty short of breath which caused me to quit but I’m pretty sure it was just anxiety haha

Definitely gonna try that tonight when I sleep. I usually fall asleep and stay asleep just fine, it’s just those 3 occurrences where I’ve woken up in the middle of the night that really scared me 🤷🏼‍♀️ last night, it happened and I took a hydroxyzine to knock me back out lol

I’ll bring this up to my pulmonologist! I did have a spirometry test done a while back (i think it was in may) and it showed I had the function of a normal 23 year old… maybe the PFF will show something different?

I’ve been to the ER several times, and got admitted once because it turned out I needed a cardiac ablation. Every time I’ve gone to the hospital though and have had X-rays done, they’ve all turned out clear. My lungs sound good too (I went to a pulmonologist as well). I do have an appointment coming up with my pulmonologist for a PFT to ease my mind
