Pulmonary Hypertension Support Group
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary artery or lung vasculature, leading to shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are exacerbated by exertion. Depending on the cause, pulmonary hypertension can be a severe disease with a markedly decreased exercise tolerance and right-sided heart failure.
This message board is empty...are there no persons dealing with PH on this board????

I am dealing with PH as well. I did see some of what you wrote under Rudy's "I want to hear your story" post so you can look under there for my response of my PH story, so I wont repeat myself...
Do you have any support groups in your area? There is one near me, but with my depression and anxiety, sometimes it is hard for me to leave the house! The Flolan, although very, very helpful controlling my PH has side effects of its own.
If I remember correctly, you were getting CPAP therapy (from your other post). Is that the only therapy your on?
Well, sorry it's 2 months later, but this is my first day on here in 4 years, since before I was even sick (back then I was here because my husband and I separated)! And this is my 2nd post since I have been on today. So if you're still here, I look forward to hearing back from you. God bless you, Samara
Thanks for the hug.
