Hang in there papa, there is nothing more frustrating that watching a bunch of doctors try to reach a decision about something ;P

Drug interactions can do all sorts of weird things, so perhaps it will all be for the best in the end.

No more massages from the cute nurses tho ......-P

Get well soon!
As I said on facebook I have the same symptoms and have had the same tests, I really didn't like the "non stress" stress test. Everything came back normal. I still can't walk more than 200' without being out of breath and in pain. I am going for another test next week where they measure the volume of air you take in and the oxygen in your blood god I hope they find something to help me and if so I will tell you so they can check you. And vise versa.

I have follow up appointments set up, release to go back to work, and plans of action to avoid this situation in the future.
The main problem I had was low volume of oxygen. They did several tests and several Albuterol treatments to clear that up.

You're out?..... yay!!!!,,,, and back to work, so, taking anymore time off or going right back at the nightshift?

I'm taking a couple more days off to be sure. I'll be back at work on Sunday at 6 PM.

They put me on an Albuterol Breathing regimen while in the hospital, but didn't prescribe that or CPAP yet.Since being home, I've had no breathing trouble at all.
