Hi Everyone,
Confusion is causing anxiety and Pulmonologist making it worse.
Had seen pulmonologist yesterday and walked out more confused. He had me take peak flow on my device usually (average) around 430.
I have been active daily even jogging, weights 6 of 7 days a week. Last week climbed a couple trails in Palm Springs- no problem.
The pulmonologist listed to my lungs recommended no other tests and sent me home.
Why am I upset again….my peak flow meter that I use daily reads about 430 at 67 inches 5’7 44 year old. When I look at the chart those numbers represent an 80 year old man. I feel like this disease is some cruel joke and wants to mentally torment me.
Does anyone know of the peak flow chart is outdated or a cruel joke- according to it I should be dead or in a whee chair. Sorry for the dramatics BUT I need some help. I’m trying so hard to understand what I have and just can’t get my head in place
.
You all are wonderful.
Mar
