Oxygen was at 83....

Dude... C'mon man... That's such a predictable Hypo27 HA reply How long have you been posting and repeating the same mantra? There has to be some rational part of you that's trying to speak here. Take a listen and tell us what it's saying.

Unfortunately, B, I don't think you'll ever be satisfied with a diagnosis until you're put in hospice.

How many years did you suffer from ALS?

Any chance you could go to the night before lasts thread, read what people have said and update on there?! (now what was happening last night, oh yes thinking of going to ER about a racing heart/heart faliure).

[nomorepanic]

So what happened with your previous post - no update on there

You never answered this

[Carys]

As for the oxygen reading, I say it gave the wrong reading and it was 97. Anyway, what are you doing sticking that on your finger whilst driving? seems rather dangerous really to be messing about with a piece of faux medical equipment and focusing on it whilst you should be focusing on driving. If you are putting oxometers on your finger and driving at the same time, firstly you won't be getting correct reading anyway and secondly it involves taking hands off fromt he driving position and not attending to the road. Get rid of it, HA people should NOT have these types of things.

On your thread from July, you said this at the start

I’ve had shortness of breath off and on since around 2015

. You then talk a bit about the tests you have had done to check your breathing, and say you are worried about a pulmonary embolism. So, you think you've had a pulmonary embolism for 4 years ? Come onnnnnnnnnnn Hypo, get real here, do you not think one of these doctors would have picked up a breathing problem in those 4 years. 4 years during which I've no doubt you have made many many trips to ER and to various consultants.

Ask yourself this.

There are hundreds of threads on this forum alone with people experiencing exactly the same thing as you, word for word. You've been told nothing is wrong with you by professionals and by anecdotal stories here.

You've also been told the best thing to do is to stop checking and focus on something else.

What you need to ask yourself is why you're refusing to take on board what you've been told, and choose to do the exact opposite instead?

did you ask yourself this?

...and for years!

As usual ankietyjoe, exceptionally useful thoughts in your post.

I know what the reason is. Health anxiety is like smoking. Most people want to give it up, but without having to stop lighting cigarettes and putting it in their mouth.

The OP wants to keep repeating the bad habits without going through the pain of withdrawal. Reassurance from the internet is his nicotine gum, but in reality that just keeps you hooked.

No I’ve been worried about pulmonary hypertension and not for four years more like two. About 2 years ago I noticed shortness of breath on severe exertion. Now it’s progressed to barely doing anything sets off the shortness of breath even now at rest..
