Breathing

I'd ask for an x-ray!!!!!!!!!!

I had a ct. Scan done came back small airway disease/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Copd would cause shortness of breath,so can pleurisy.What does your doc recommend?Patty

He gave me advair 100/50 once a day. Singulair once a day. Flonase once a day. We viewed the ct scan to gether he said that I had a few spots that were not normal.

O.K.,all of those meds should help you breath better.Did your doc suggest any follow-up scans in several months?If you are a smoker,spots can mean lots of things,not always cancer.If you are a smoker,i hope you stop now.Hope you're doing better soon.Patty

Non smoker that doesn't mean anything exposed to second hand smoke for 11 years 4 for those 4 of the people in the house smoked.
I have been having ct scans for a lung nodule starrt in 2002
it starrted with an abdominal ct scan which showed ground glass in the lower lobes and I in sisted on a full chest ct scan. So it went from ground glass to empyhsematous to copd/small airway disease.

Ground glass?Do you mean asbestos?If that's the case,is it work related?What does your doctor say your long term prognosis is?Sorry for all the questions,just curious.Take care.Patty

Well for me I was told form one Dr.
Alveolitis. Another Dr. Some kind of interstitial lung disease. Another dr pulmonary fibrosis.
And a different Dr. Told me it was congestive heart failure. I am not sure what is really wrong with me.

If your problems are work related you are entitled to workman's comp for this.Have you seen a pulmonary specialist?If not,you should.I would trust their opinion over a gp.

You know they were all pulmonary specialists that I saw. My internist did not beleive me when I first went to see him that I even had anything wrong with my lungs.
As for suing workman comp. I haven't worked in 13 years been taking of sick child and parent.

You might get more help in lung disorder forum.Good luck!Patty
