3/19/2005 <br />'fo W'hom It May Concern: <br />In October of 1993 Dr. John H. R. Vogel, M.D., F.A.C.C, of the Cardiovascular <br />Pulmonary Medical Group of Santa Barbara, California diagnosed me as having <br />Pulmonary Hypertension and Thrombotic Disease {blood clots]. <br />Pulmonary Hypertension is the restilt of abnomaally high blood pressure in the latrigs. The <br />small vessels that supply bland to the lungs become damaged and constrict, making it <br />harder for blood to get to tlae lungs and forcing the heart to work harder. One of the <br />medications I currently am on is the medication Deltiazem, which I most likely will be on <br />for life. <br />Dr, Vogel attributed Thrombotic Disease [blood clots] w be caused by taking Prentarin. <br />Thrombotic Disease in turn creates Pulmonary Hypertension At the time I was not <br />aware that one of the side affects of Premaein is the creation of blood clots. 'T'hese blood <br />clots damaged the capillaries in my lungs, which in turn now prevent my optimal use of <br />the oxygen is the air. I believe I currently utilize approxian,ztely 80°l0 of my lungs <br />capability of obtaining oxygen. I was on the dangerous blood thinner Coumadin for 6 <br />years to combat the forming of more blood clot,. <br />There is a grave concern that the possibility of excessive dust being raised by additional <br />quarrying activities in the vicinity could further damage my lungs <br />Louan Lundberg <br />
