View More Posts Ignore
What is a routine for testing a PH patient? I have been thru so many tests and now Rheumy wants to do second Right Heart Cath in 10 months. I do trust her and I know that everyone who has PH walks a different path. I have PH with Scleroderma, and a bunch of more med issues and my body is not that of a spring chicken. I don't mean to have a pity party JUST woyld like to know what to expect.
I welcome input from anyone. A note or an autobiography.
