calcium deposits coughed up

Does your father suffer from constrictive pericarditis or he has problems with his heart?

What did his doctors say about these calcium balls?

As far as I know, calcium deposits can be found in the pericardium using x-rays in patients who suffer from constrictive pericarditis where the cause hasn’t been found. The presence of calcium deposits usually points out the fact that the condition has been present for quite some time.

I would be good if you gave me additional info about your father’s condition and asked a few questions, so I can understand what exactly you would like to know.

Hello there,

So I can see that you never gave additional information to the poster above me. But anyway I am going to ask what has happened afterwards. Did you find out what was your father coughing up? And what was the diagnosis that doctor has determined? And of course how about the treatment?

I hope that you will answer to my questions, because I was browsing the net and I couldn’t find not one related link. Thank you in advance.

 

I have been coughing up small calcium like stones for a few years. About 9 years ago, I was to my great surprise diagnosed with TB. I went through a year of antibiotics, 6 months of quarenteen....I am a smoker and at this point they consider my symptoms COPD, but like I said, I cough up rocks. My Dr seemed unaware if this condition when I mentioned it. I've had countless X-Rays, never any mention of deposits, just that there was much scar tissue. Anyway, My experiences with allopathic medicine have left me hesitant. I do not use inhalers or steroids but have taken a natural herbal approach. For the stones it was recommended that I supplement with pycnogenol and broke lain and I have experienced a marked increase in the amount of stones no am bringing up. Hopefully this means it is breaking up the deposits. Not sure, I find little online on this condition. I realize thus us an old thread, but any info would be appreciated. Thanks
