I am so glad I found this forum. I've had CD for several years and have had many health situations that always lead me back to Chrones' related. But the symptom hat has really bothered me is a breathing issue. For years I've talked to docs about it. They gave me lung tests, King of Hearts, etc. but nothing and chalked it up to anxiety. I've read recently some other CD patients who have had some breathign issues. I would love to hear your experiences and treatments. I find it difficult to take deep breaths at times, I yawn and sigh alot. Burping sometimes alleviates pressure a bit. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
 
hi

i have had breathing problems also i smoke dumb i know but one of my many admits in the hospital they scraped my lungs and said that the crohns had infultrated my lungs which apparently is rare but they told me crohns can go any where it wants to about a month ago i was getting blurry vision and was told it was a bout of crohns crazy huh this is the most unpredictable disease in my expierence (have had it since i was 10 now 42)you have to tell your gi or specialist what you want done and checked i have fought with many a doctor if your not going to let me tell you whats wrong with my body you r out of here we know our symptoms and what our body is telling us.!
 
Thanks for the info. I agree that I'm always amazed at the health issues I've expreience and it always comes back to this awful disease. What did you have to do about your lungs once they figured that out?
 
i have an inhaler i was on breathing treatments but i havnt had any reoccurences sinced they scraped them plus i am on imuran so that might be keeping it under control im glad i could help you always feel like youre the only one having these problems i am glad they have these sites for us i was afraid 2 try it but i am glad i did i am not the only person out there with these problem rite ty
 
Thanks again. I'm supposed to have my second endoscopy next week. I'm hoping that the test will shed some light on this issue. I will definitely mention the lung issue to my GI doc.
Thanks again. Have a good night.
