Reply to "Hospitalized / Likely not GI Related but Who Knows?"

Last year I had viral bronchitis that was treated with antibiotics.  Treatment did not work and they put me on prednisone and "mis"-diagnosed me as COPD.

Long story-short... I ended up with congestive heart failure and a pulmonary embolism.  My heart was only pumping at 19%.  Cardio doc did a swan catheter surgery to drain the fluid off my lungs and I felt so much better.  

I now take Entresto and Metatoporol (BP medicine).  I tried to wean myself off the meds, but I'm afraid the damage is permanent.

Oh well... I feel great now!
