Hi want to share alittle about myself and my hubby . We are married 48years this November 6th . We are full time RVers since 2004 . We have two rescue cats Faith (Tortishell medium haired ) & her sister Hope ( Calico face & tummy but her back is tortishell markings shes long haired ) .
Medical side for us both myself first : Diagnosed on 7/10/10 with CHF (Congestive Heartfailure went ER hubby drove 24 miles from the campground to the hospital in 10 minutes ) They said I had 4days to live I told them no you have 4 days to get me back out on my camp trip please!
I was also at that time diagnosed with COPD Mild Emphysema . This Thursday I will get my new CPAP & a Nebulizer .
Hubby had a brain bleed on 5/15/13 had 1/2 inch of blood around his brain . They did surgery and drained the blood . This past June they put him on O2 24/7 and did sleep study and breathing tests . He has COPD & Sleep Apnea . He will get his new BiPAP on Thursday and a Nebulizer .
We both are apprhensive about the medication to use with the Nebulizer its Ipratropium /Albuterol = Sabuterol . Because in April Hubby was put on an Albuterol inhaler and his BP went up so he doesnt use inhaler anymore .
I was prescribed the same inhaler in May also my BP went up . I stopped using the inhaler as well .
We will give it another try but if the BP's raise again because of the Albuterol we will go off it and see if there is a better medication that won't make the BP's rise .
Very glad I found this board . Very helpful and good to be able to share with others experiencing the same or simular medical conditions.
