This is about the teenage daughter. She's 13.
Never had a health issue until this summer..........About a month or 2 ago she started having some minor breathing complaints. She wasn't wheezing but she would make big sighs and say that her throat felt constricted. The feeling would subside after an hour or two.
The feeling would go away for days and then come back. This kept happening about once a week or so and I felt they were allergy related and gave her a pill.
Yesterday she called from school complaining about the symptoms, so I picked her up and took her to the doctor. The initial exam didn't show anything......a healthy girl. Blood tests indicate that her lungs are not processing oxygen up to par "for her age". If she were an adult they wouldn't be questioning.
So, next week she is going in for a CAT SCAN on her lungs.
Should I be concerned???
