So many patients and even physicians are unaware of the serious systemic effects of Sjogren's. In 2013, well before my Sjogren diagnosis I began experiencing bouts of shortness of breath, chest pain, and heart palpitations. I sought care on two separate occasions with two different cardiologists. Neither could figure out what was wrong. In 2020 after my Sjogren diagnosis, I was referred to a pulmonologist. My chest X-ray and high resolution chest CT were both normal, but after pulmonary function tests I was diagnosed with asthma. A year later the pulmonologist recommended a cardiac echo. It was abnormal. Last October after a right and left heart cath I finally had answers. I was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with Sjogren's. Needless to say, the past year has been challenging and interesting! All Sjogren's patients should educate themselves about the serious pulmonary risks associated with the disease.
Hi! May I ask what treatment you're getting from this? My mom also has Sjøgrens and has a reoccuring cough and shortness of breath
I was diagnosed and I'm being treated by a pulmonologist that is is a pulmonary hypertension specialist@@camillahare7855
Dr Girnita ,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for educating me on this and other topics that I was unaware of. It is so helpful and valuable to me. Please continue
Tracey
thank you
I really like the short videos that get to the point. And we can pick the subjects we are interested in.
send me suggestions!
thanks for watching!
The reflux and digestive problems are literally killing me slowly, the acid literally goes up into my sinuses, I've got Barretts Esophagus, my stomach is constantly cramping and severe construction. None of the doctors I have seen acknowledge that this is happening. And this cough. Where can. I find doctors that recognize and treat this..??
I had severe nausea and frequent vomiting for years. After being scoped the specialist concluded it was due to Sjögrens but offered no solutions. Over time the symptoms have lessened greatly. However, I now have other isssues. Getting help is challenging.
@@julesonthebeach777what did you do for it
@@lozifsantana1743 I took a prescription drug called omeprazole. I still take it. The daily, extreme, nausea is gone. I still get a bit of nausea sometimes. I could increase the omeprazole but I'd rather not be taking it at all.
Wow! Another great video acknowledging the various issues we get along with Sjögren's. Thank you!
I can relate to most of the issues you mentioned. I've had Sjögren's for two decades.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have all of these symptoms. I do have spasmodic dysphonia and I’m on oxygen for allergy, sob and hypoxia. I also have nodules on my lungs and been to several pulmonologist with no help or answers.
Thank you for watching
Thank you, Dr. Girnita for your videos. Can you please discuss vasomotor rhinitis in patients with Sjogren's syndrome? Thank you.
Thank you for your question! I'll definitely cover vasomotor rhinitis in patients with Sjogren's syndrome in an upcoming video.
@@rheumatologistoncall Thank you.
Last week I have been diagnosed with Sjogren disease. I am having a dry cough for about 6 months. Could the coughs be caused by Sjogren?
YESSSS
