I recently had a kidney stone removed and a Stent placed. After staying in hospital given fluids, was sent home. During the night I noticed shortness of breath going to bathroom. In the morning was so short of breath I had a hard time walking to living room. With no one being home with me I called 911. Was taken to hospital where I was checked out and subsequently told I had chf. Had an echocardiogram done before this and my ejection fraction was good. Cardiologist didn't understand why this happened. Now I'm scared all the time because of this. Please advise what I should do.
If you were found to have fluid overload they will want to watch your heart and your kidneys. I hope they suggested they follow you in 3-6 months.
As an RN I can tell you there are few things so scary as not being able to breath. But you had a good report and have a good ejection fraction, so it is clear that, unless anything else happens, you are for now in the clear.
Anxiety can affect your breathing. I think you will calm out of this. If you don't return to the doc for more reassurance.
Good luck to you.
