Hi, I'm going to try to make this short. In the beginning of Dec I got really sick. Sepsis..pna...by the time EMT'S GOT THE I had stopped breathing. A couple weeks later I got bilater PE. A CT WAS DONE AND A MASS WAS FOUND ON MY RIGHT LOW LOBE. I jusy found out that it is congenital pulmonary arterial venous. Malformation. Answer to why I have been so exhaused. To top ot off they found found in my upper abd two small spenic arteriol aneurisms hilum. I understand some of the report but the PAV MALFORMATION. IS A LITTLE CONFUSING. I read it can cause brain abscesses and siezures which I did jave when I wad younger bit given some other reason why I had them. Snd it is my umderdandin g that may just be due to brain PAV. Can anyone out there give me a better explanation of what the heck is wrong with me

Thanks

There is no way anonymous strangers can offer you medical advice on a message board. You need to make a list of your questions and discuss with your physicians/health care team. Perhaps take a trusted family member, friend or colleague for support and advocacy. Sometimes two sets of ears are needed to hear the whole answer.

Good luck
