Chapter 289 Diagnosis: Pulmonary Hypertension
Songzhuyuan.
Beigong You was sitting on the bed after finishing his breakfast. After a night, he looked more haggard, his face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
Seeing Lin Miaoyin coming in, Beigong You clenched his hands unconsciously and lowered his eyes slightly.
He had a fever all night and woke up this morning. When he woke up, he didn't see Lin Miaoyin and thought she didn't know he had a fever.
Who knew that Feng Ming told him that the princess not only knew that he had a high fever, but also came to see him and take care of him in person. However, when he was unconscious, he called out Chen Zhimo's name, which made the princess angry and left.
Thinking of this, he looked up suddenly, with some anticipation in his eyes.
Will she be jealous?
He then smiled bitterly. How could she be jealous since she didn't have him in her heart?
But when he saw Lin Miaoyin coming over early in the morning, a ripple appeared in his originally silent heart, and he had a little extravagant hope that he shouldn't have.
She does care a little, right?
So, he couldn't wait to explain why he called Chen Zhimo last night, but Lin Miaoyin didn't even give him a chance to speak.
She came to the couch and touched his forehead directly.
Beigong You was stunned for a moment. Before he had time to think, a faint fragrance rushed into his nostrils, almost making him forget to breathe.
He clenched his palms, his thoughts became confused, and the explanation that came out of his mouth became a mess.
At this moment, he could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
"Well, the fever is gone." Lin Miaoyin felt a little relieved.
Looking down at Beigong You with dull eyes, she frowned slightly, a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Did he get crazy last night?
Beigong You hastily turned his face away. His originally pale face suddenly showed some color. He said in a panic, "Nothing... Nothing..."
Lin Miaoyin didn't care about what he was thinking, nor did she notice his abnormality. She directly stated her purpose, "I roughly know what disease you have. To be cautious, I will give you a detailed examination."
"Take off your shirt and lie down."
Beigong You's expression froze for a moment, his face slightly reddened, and after slowly taking off his shirt, he lay motionless on the couch, his expression as stiff as if he had died heroically.
She glanced at Beigong You's strange expression and shook her head slightly.
I'm really stupid.
She didn't take it to heart, turned around, took out the equipment from the medical system and started examining him.
Beigong You also breathed a sigh of relief.
Two hours later, Lin Miaoyin confirmed her guess that Beigong You was suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension.
She didn't know much about this disease, and only glanced at a book on lung diseases. Even if she retrieved relevant information from the medical system, the information she could get was only some basic introduction.
Pulmonary hypertension is a disease in which pulmonary artery pressure is abnormally elevated due to a variety of known or unknown causes. The most common symptom of patients is shortness of breath after activity, and other symptoms include fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, chest tightness, palpitations, blackouts, syncope, etc.
Beigong You had already shown these symptoms several months ago.
After the diagnosis, she sighed deeply and couldn't help pinching her eyebrows.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a disease with a poor prognosis. Once diagnosed, it is usually difficult to cure, and severe cases can be life-threatening, just like Beigong You's current situation.
This disease is considered a rare disease. It was first discovered in the 20th century, but there was no particularly effective treatment until the 22nd century.
Pulmonary hypertension with no known cause, like Beigong You's, is called idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. If broken down, pulmonary hypertension can be divided into five types: idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hypertension caused by left heart disease, pulmonary hypertension caused by lung disease or hypoxemia, and pulmonary hypertension caused by chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension or other pulmonary artery obstructive lesions. Beigong You's specific condition belongs to the last type, which is more difficult to treat.
Beigong You saw that Lin Miaoyin had been busy taking care of his health and seemed to have forgotten what happened last night. His heart, which had been rippling with emotions, gradually calmed down and became slightly bitter.
She really doesn't care.
Even if she didn't care, shouldn't he explain it?
Beigong You opened his mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing how to explain, and was at a loss for a moment.
After Lin Miaoyin came to a conclusion in her mind, she was about to tell him about the symptoms, but seeing that he seemed to be hesitant and had something to say, she paused.
"you……"
"I……"
The two looked at each other and said in unison:
"You go first."
Lin Miaoyin closed her eyes, somewhat helplessly, "You go ahead and talk first."
Beigong You looked at her face and chose his words carefully, "I'm sorry for yesterday. I shouldn't have gone to see her, let alone called her name. I made it clear to her that we will never meet in private again."
Lin Miaoyin waved her hands, with a nonchalant look on her face. "Who you go to see, who you call out in your dreams, who you think about in your heart, it's all your freedom. It's not important to me. You don't have to explain to me."
"The only thing that matters to me is your health. I promised my father that I would take good care of you."
Lin Miaoyin paused and said, "As a doctor, I just hope you can follow the doctor's orders."
Even though he was prepared, Beigong You was still stabbed by these blunt words, and his heart bled. His breathing became a little difficult, and the blood on his face suddenly faded away. His wife didn't ask him about his affairs outside, and didn't care about his entanglement with other women. As a husband, she should be happy for being so generous, but why did he only feel sad?
My heart feels empty, as if there is a hole in it.
Lin Miaoyin didn't notice his emotions and told him the results of the examination. "By the way, I have diagnosed your disease. It's pulmonary arterial hypertension."
"Pulmonary hypertension?" Beigong You suppressed his disappointment and looked puzzled. "What disease is this?"
This disease is truly unheard of and unseen.
"It's chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension..." Lin Miaoyin explained the disease to him in detail and finally gave her own solution.
"If you want to cure it completely, you have to have a lung transplant."
"A lung replacement?"
Beigong You looked at his chest. Can the lungs be replaced? Can the person still survive after the replacement?
"right."
After the cause of the disease was determined, Lin Miaoyin gained more confidence. "I was told before that a lung transplant was not possible, but the examination just now confirmed that your lung problem is very serious. If it is not cured and you delay any further, you will die."
She looked at Beigong You with a serious face, "If you want to live, you have to get a lung transplant."
