re CHF
Thankyou to the 3 folks that replied to my post a few days ago about possible CHF.....well it turns out i dont have that and the issues were associated with the influenza A i had an my asthma making me very uncomfortable.I got a chest x ray and all was clear in all departments including normal size heart. and no lung congestion, so i think I am a lucky boy! The flu has flown and now i just have to deal with any asthma complications....i will still see my cardioligist however and get an echo done to check on my ejection fraction is still aok..my PMIt was a frightening 15 days.Thnks to all..chrs Dave

Well things are improving rapidly...thnks for your comment Lavender...bagpipes not easy to play and i was a late learner! Give it a try...you can get electronic chanters that are quite good to learn on! All the best Dave

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Hello Dave, thank you for the update. I hope when you receive the echo results, these will confirm that your heart is in good shape and that you are not suffering from CHF.
I know what havoc these viruses/infections can cause unless they are completely cleared. I would focus on treating your asthma now and when you get the results of your echo, you might also consider asking about pulmonary rehabilitation. It can be a very effective treatment for chronic lung conditions and allow you to take back control.
