About 1 month ago I have a problem sudden shortness of
breath. Feeling very claustrophobic and imagine something dangerous, quickly I
was taken to a nearby hospital by my wife. During on the way I feel very short
of breath and increasingly congested. I'm very worry.
Upon arriving at the hospital and enter to emergency unit
room, the nurse put oxygen into my nose and giving a drug under the tongue. The
goal is to loosen the tightness. But for 30 minutes does not give good results.
I'm still short of breath. Finally they checked my heart with ECG and torax
photograph. While waiting for the results, my shortness not stop.
After nearly 1 hour, finally oxygen is replaced by a kind of
smoke that is inserted into the nose and my mouth. I was told to inhale with
the nose and mouth to release. It runs about 10 minutes. Finally, I stop short
of breath. Stopped not because of oxygen but because of the smoke given
therapy.
After waiting for the results of the examination until the
next day, I was notified that I suffer
pneumonia in the right lung. In addition there is a kind of positive
troponin. Finally I was given medication. The doctor sent me home and told take
medication once a day. There isosorbide dinitrate, concorde, and lasix
furosemide.
I was taking them until now. But until now I feel that I
have not fully recovered. Sometimes I feel claustrophobic and rapid fatigue when
walking or climbing stairs.
I did not consult a doctor until now. Question, I have
shortness is it because of pneumonia or
heart problems?
