My sister FVC remains in 80%, but she is having a lot of breathing problems.
Recently she had a home pulse oxymetry test that showed a lot of "desaturation" events.
I talked to her Dr this AM and he said that he can't give a script for BIPAP unless her FVC is below 70%.
What was your FVC when you went on BIPAP?
Shall I request other breathing tests?
I'm so lost and don't know how to help my sister.
Thank you all, Briana
