    HELP - Daughter can't breath after 2.5 minute competitive cheer routine-what to do?

    Zoe had a stress test and we are waiting on the results. What I do know is that her pulse ox didn't change, and her lung function (PFT) improved a little but basically didn't change. What we did notice is a 180-190 heart rate. Waiting on the cardiologist interpretation...will keep you posted.

    HELP - Daughter can't breath after 2.5 minute competitive cheer routine-what to do?

    HELP - Daughter can't breath after 2.5 minute competitive cheer routine-what to do?

    Bill - pretty out of date opinion. You obviously didn't read the entire post. Also, her pulmonologist - one of the most well known in the country...considers exersice part of her lung therapy and is concerned when she is not competitively cheerleading.

Her coaches know and fortunately are accomodating...

    denufosol vs. hypertonic saline

    it's your right to pull you child from a clinical trial at anytime for any reason, but follow Dr. orders regarding stopping immediately or gradually as I don't know what denufosol is or the side affects. At the last hospital stay my child (14 y girl) tried the saline and like the results.
