    Had the CT scan, waiting for doc to call with results, Heart an lungs were good O2 at 100%, Waiting to find out about arteries lower ab stuff. But my lungs and heart looked good on the CT Scan, Rspiratory test schdule for Friday Evening. EKG schduled for Next Monday, The ct scan got me refered to the the GI department, this stuff sure is no fun.

    Let you know how it goes, Hopefully be back n the road sooner than later, I have actually been a driver because I enjoy the trip more than the destination.

    In my case after taking every cardio test imaginary it ended up being high levels of co2 in my lungs, try scuba diver's breathing exercises. Breathe in slowly ALL the way and make sure you exhale ALL the way.

    When you feel weak an dizzy and high heart rate stop ,sit down and deep breathe and see if that helps.

    Another trick is as you're walking breath in for two steps and out for 3.

    Fun fact, this is why most people have trouble swimming. They gulp in as much air as they can, then hold their breath before hurriedly exhaling before grabbing another gulp of air. After 15-20 yards they become slightly hypoxic, it feels like fatigue but if they just breathed fully they could swim 3-4 times the distance.
