Lung Concerns

I had a PM installed about 2 months ago and I am having some trouble with my lungs. When I bend over I can feel my lungs press up against my chest wall. When I take a very deep breath I feel some uncomfortable pressure. Any experience out there with you b loggers?

Can't say I've heard this complaint before but I believe anything is possible after having a PM.

I truly think you should go see your doctor asap or even go to the ER as I really think you would/should be taken very seriously since this has something to do with your breathing.

Whatever it is, it doesn't seem normal to me. My motto has always been: When in doubt, go get yourself checked out:)

I can't tell you what to do, but if I were you, I'd go to the ER asap. It could be nothing or it could be something, but let the medical staff decide that. At least you might get some peace of mind.

Take care (and keep us posted???)

Thnx Pookie. I had a CT scan, and then went to a pulmonologist last week, who didn't seem to think it was serious...but I do. I'm going to see the Cardo tomorrow, so I'll see if there is any further feedback I can report on
