Hi everyone
I was looking over MyChart (my medical records, test results, etc.) when I came across one of the ER doctor's notes from when I was in the ER a while back, and the doctor said I have pulmonary hypertension.

In the meantime, I can't breath when I walk and I now have a cannula as a piece of jewelry. I looked up PH specialists in my area and have recently joined The University of Michigan Medical Center. That facility has PH specialists that are WHO certified. I suggest everyone see if there is a Comprehensive PH Center in your area. Best of luck and best of health. 🌻🙏💓
U need a ph dr. I too waited so long before being Diagnosed
