Gee Tuck,
I'm hoping (in a kind way) that your "passing out" was due to low blood pressure WHEN you arose from the coughing fit....
Causing you to fall
Holy cow
Get better man and keep us informed
Remember in Basic training?
Parade field?
Guys dropping like flys and face planting...?
Ouch...

Ski I agree with you on the BP med. I have had similar occurrences but nothing like this. Most of the time I don't even know my BP is high so I guess the meds do in fact work. They are very low dosage too but still I hate them and come annual physical checkup time, I will discuss getting off of them all together. Thanks Ski and yep I remember guys face planting in Basic in that hot San Antonio Texas/Lackland sun. It was the ones that would lock their knees when at attention. Learned not to back in my Scouting days...cr8crshr/Tuck

Sounds good. Hope for good news from the CT scan. I hope they don't find anything out of the ordinary up there.

Breathing is actually quite good. Both nostrils are clear enough to get good air intake. But there is some blockage due to the damage that once fixed will clear that up. My CPAP machine gives me a good push at nite with my nasal mask. It sits under the nose so I am not at all in any discomfort as my full mask is. Sleep really well actually and as long as I keep blowing the snot locker daily, I get rid of all the junk that accumulates because of the damage. Just one day at a time actually. Tomorrow is the full facial CT scan to see if there is further damage that the Xrays did not show. Then ENT to discuss what's next...cr8crshr/Tuck

My wife had the "WOW!" surgery a few years ago. When the tubes come out and you pull air in the first time you say WOW!. You might get all the stuff scraped out and breath even better.

Nothing wrong with AF.
Dont live on a cork in the middle of who knows were.
Did not have to sleep in the rain in a ditch.
Felt the AF to be a smart move.
