First, thank you fibroforever & sweetheartsuzee for your hugs. Well, I've done the pulmonary docs for so long with no results,now seeing heart drs. So far opinions about my being short of breath for 15 yrs have been,1. its my sinuses, 2. its acid reflux,3.I'm out of shape, 4. its the fibro etc, and on & on. Gosh I wonder why we're get so discouraged.? Ok asked my family doc, how can I be sure the chest pain, up my neck and jaw, and between the shoulder blades is really acid reflux (that was the opinion at Deborah Heart & Lung Center).That lead to an EKG that wasn't quite right.So I saw a heart dr and really felt I was listened to(a rarity in drs), but this time I saw a WOMAN DR!. Next thurs. I am having a cardiac catherization. She want to make sure I don't have any blockages. Wish me luck, I will post with the result. Thank all for being here!

I hope you get helped. It is awful not knowing what a problem is caused by or how to treat it. My thoughts are with you.
I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.
