Health Update

Alright, so I’ve been feeling better, so I thought I was about out of the woods. Not so, grasshopper. I got my lab work back, and my cholesterol was slightly up (Doc wasn’t too worried about it, but I still need to watch it). But the biggie I suppose is that I’m still having minor breathing problems (i.e. can’t catch a deep breath sometimes — that’s the worst!)
So now I get to go to a Pulmonary specialist for a PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). The doc thinks I’m ok, but just wants to rule out any bronchial problems, since the beta blockers can aggravate that condition. If it isn’t one thing it’s something else. I’m just ready to get back to normal again …
I have the same problem from time to time. Last summer I went for a PFT, also, which revealed nothing I didn’t already know—I have asthma.
Research which foods you are eating that are acidic, and eat more alkaline foods and limit your acidic choices. That may help. I’m researching it, and I am going to try it as well.
I wish you well…
