Hi Guys
Hope you don't mind but could do with a little help regarding my little sister.
My sister has Raynauds quite bad and possible rheumatiod arthritis. On her visit to the rheumy last week she listened to her chest and then went and got another doctor to check her. My sister could see that they were concerned so asked what the problem was. They didn't give any answers and left it that and said that she needed to go back in 6 months!
Anyway she's recieved a letter through the post to say that she needs to go to the hospital in a week to have tests done on her lungs? I was wondering if any of you could shed some light on why and what could this be due to? My little sister seems a little worried although doesn't give much away.
Just to say she's had Raynauds for around 10 years if I remember correctly!
Thankyou for your help
Mrs M
