I have no idea, but I've seen 2 cardiologists and they both gave me the
OK. EKGs, Ultrasounds, etc.
It is a bit harder to breath when flat, but it always has been.
I go back to the one who did the heart ablation in a week or so. It all
started after that. But my heart checks out ok.
I'm leaning towards diaphragm issues right now. The ablation goes up the
leg by the diaphragm. And I read that getting intubated can mess up your
diaphragm. Plus I feel its my inhale thats an issue. Long pauses, and
harder than before. Just a light help inhale from the respirator helps a
lot.
Hopefully the EMG and Sniff test will show something.
Thx, Greg

Hey Greg,
Been thinking about your breathing problems. Is it harder to breathe
when you lie flat? Are you sure this isn't cardiac related?

I think I might be a little psychic. I wrote the below message
about 2 hours ago on my tablet so I can use the voice typing
easier. Then I forward it to my Facebook, then copy it to an
email. But before I could send it, I got stuck AGAIN. This time I
was out front and I hit my recline button, but when I let go, it
kept reclining. Then none of the buttons work. I was able to yell
and get help, but nothing they could do. I had to call the fire
department so they could get me inside and into bed. There's no
way my reclining chair would fit around the corners. But the
fireman played around with the wires and it started working. Thank
God. I'd hate to be stuck in bed for who knows how long. I'd have
to get a prescription, send it to the repair place, get the
appointment, have them look at it, order parts, then schedule
another appointment to have it fixed. I hate dealing with
insurance. Being that you need a wheelchair you should just be
able to go straight up there without all that waiting.
This was my earlier message.
I was sitting out front today, I decided to put the smell set of
weight on my wrist. I had an iced coffee in one hand and I hit the
recline button with the other. But when I tried to hit the recline
button to sit back up my fingers got caught in the recline button
cable. With a little extra weight on my hand I was not able to get
to the button. I tried to use my other hand to hook on the armrest
for leverage, but it slipped off and my hand went to my shoulder
with the coffee cup upside down. Luckily I was able to knock the
coffee cup off my hand and hook my arm rest for better Leverage
and got to my recline button. Lucky it didn't take too long it's
about a hundred degrees out and who knows how long I would have
laid there.
Got me thinking, I think I've been stuck like that or similar 3
times. Been stuck in gravel many times but not like that. Once I
was on my way home and I tipped forward and couldn't sit back up.
I laid with my head in my lap until a bicyclist came by and helped
me to sit up. Another time would like today without the weights,
but I was stuck I could reach the button, and yelled until finally
a neighbor heard me. I think the worst one, was when I was going
out the back door one wheel went over the threshold the the bump
made me fall forward, and I was jammed in the doorway, it was
about a hundred ten degrees out. I was there for so long and got
overheated. At least I've learned to always wear my chest strap
even when I'm home and families in the house. I just can't yell
loud enough.
Greg
