I have perfect socialized medecine so this post is fine, consider it even an healthy bump
Just to answer my previous internet doc who ask for a pic of forearm
>>12935128Nothing really interesting what are you looking for? A bloated coronary artery? (or you just get off pics of forearms of strangers ?) ...
i must add that I usually wake up (still since months but it's getting worst rapidly ) with the right arm red /very light purple, while the left is always white/pale as a baby's ass.
If I'm doing light exercise making the pulse go high (+180/200), so basically walking just the 2 stairs of my building to get to my flat at this point, the effect can be reproduced. Did an effort test in 2020, ekg again show out of shape smoker but no arythmia, normal heart function.
I really don't know what to look for, bought an 02 12h monitoring finger thing ,I'm going lower than 85% of spo2 for several times but it won't alarm the pneumologist (boomer female who doesn't seem really qualified beside assessing sleep apnea on a patient with the small electronic machine) more than that. "that's the sleep apnea it will get better "
Except same spike of spo2 dropped after I got my cpap machine early this year, not as bad but still there.
Told me she have never seen cases of COPD before 40, if the patient isn't a daily heavy smoker of weed/hashish which I'm not (only cigs, a pack a day since 20 years now) , that was enough for her, I was always in shape younger doing sport until 24 hitted (++30 now)
I'm not really confident, I'm seing her only next year in part of that CPAP machine thing loan (public Healthcare...) but that's it, I'm officially cured.
On top of that the radio technician told me right of the batch that yeah I've got lungs of a heavy smoker with a meany look, the doctor who is supposed to outrank her and interpret the scans said the X-ray was "fine", no apparent pleural thickening etc
