My father has copd, diabetes, sleep apnea, pv, myopathy. Lung capacity at less than 20%.? |
Oxygen saturation at 85%. Pint of blood withdrawn every other week. High blood pressure, high cholesterol. How long can he go on, should I be concerned that the end is near. I do not live near him and he keeps alot to himself Your father seems very unhealthy. I recommend that you see a holistic physician very soon, rather than continuing visits to a regular doctor. Add me and I can discuss your father's situation with you. He is very ill but they may be able to keep him alive for some time with diminishing quality of life. In your fathers case, pt.s with COPD usually show a Spo2 of 90% or less but 85% may cause him to be severely hypoxic. If his oxygen saturation does not improve, he is likely to be a candidate to Endotracheal intubation, which with his history is alarming. If you do have a chance to spend time with your father, please do. Let him know that you love him, because you may not get a chance later. It sounds to me that he is tipping the scales toward giving up the ghost-- sorry. you seem to know a lot about him, maybe he might mention you in his WILL , you Jerk!!! no one knows how long he has. .. but it sounds like the end is almost here for him for sure. |
