I went to my Dr. complaining of extreme fatigue, weakness, lack of energy. To the point I am not doing daily things when I have an ocd type personality. I started to try & work out hoping to help with the feeling of muscle weakness & I become short of breath very fast. Even doing daily work at home I become short of breath. I do have asthma issues periodically & carry an inhaler but don't have the extreme fatigue, weakness & lack of energy with asthma. She did a chest xray & ekg. The xray results said "the lungs are hyperinflated. The initial read out of the ekg looked normal but the results I received later came back & said "probable left atrial enlargement" when I researched the hyperinlated lungs it seemed like it could be serious but my doctor's notes on my chart simply said "your lungs show signs of your asthma like picture with the hyper inflation. No acute concerns. I know doing my own research online can be dangerous and blow thing out of proportion. My question is. Should I just trust my doctor and do nothing with the fact the xray diagnosed me with hyperinlated lungs and the ekg said probable left atrial enlargement but she does not seem concerned or should I get a second opinion?
