I haven't heard of other quads getting it, but a few months ago I ended up in the ER. One of the things they did was take some x-rays of my chest area. One of the things in the report from the techs was that there was some water around the heart. It was not related to my UTI and they said it was no big deal. But for some time now when I lay totally flat, my breathing feels weird. I can't really describe it right, kind of like it's heavy, but not like when it's pneumonia. It sometimes feels like it groans, then feels better. If I sit up a little, it goes away. I'm going to go see my primary, but he knows nothing of quads. I'll ask for another x-ray so they can compare them to see if it is worse. And ask if I should see someone about it. It's not bad feeling, kind of like lightly tight muscles. It might just be my abdomen area muscles tightening a bit from my muscles stretching when laying flat. Or irritated from the SP cath. It's just hard to pin point the exact area and feeling.
Greg _____ Any of you long term quads ever get or hear about quads acquiring water around the heart from lack of movement no. have you? <----seriously
