I just haven't felt well the last couple of weeks. Went to PAH doctor -tests didn't come out that great - put me on 2 new meds. I feel so very tired, listless and in pain. I am hoping and praying these feelings will soon releive and I can get on with doing something each day. Now I just sit and lay in bed with my oxygen. It is really discouraging. Love and Prayers, Berta

" Ahhh Bzerta.... havent heard from you in quite a while.. thought you were feeling better. What happened? I take lasix 60mg twice a day for fluid and viagra for the pulmonary hypertension. What meds did he put you on? I dont have any of those sick symptoms. I would call him back... it could be a bad reaction or you are too sensitive for them. It is bad enough we have to suffer with this illness, let alone go through sick from the meds. Call him and I am sure something can be done. Take care and let me know. huggs Joanne :) "

" Berta, The advice from Goldilox2 sounded good to me. Don't know whY I didn't think of that. Those meds could be wrong for you, the strength could be more than you need, your body could be having to acclimate to change or SOMETHING ELSE - your dr needs to hear that this is happening, he will probably have the answer.

" Thanks for the reply. I went to my RA doctor and mentioned the nausea problem and she said if I could hang on for the rest of the month the heart med would help me. But I plan to call my PAH doctor and ask her what to do. Thanks for your response "
