Question 1

i am a co2 retainer, i do not have copd, never smoked.  i have scolaris and co2 retaainer just happened, what can i do for it?eileen osinski

Accepted Answer

CO2 retention: If you have scoliosis your rib cage is unable to effectively act as a bellows and move air in and out of your lungs. Thus you cannot eliminate co2. It is important to not take excessive amounts of oxygen which can increase your co2. Noninvasive ventilation (bipap) can increase your ventilation and reduce your co2 level. You should see a pulmonologist to help you.

dr elden rand, just to confirm it is completely normal if the ivs is .1 cm actually thicker than the pw?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A 0.1cm variance on echocardiography between the ivs and pw is within normal limits for normal ivs and pw values.
 If any concerns, your cardiologist should be able to pull up your echo images for you to see how the reading was done.
