Members shared mixed experiences regarding the timing of their PAH diagnosis in relation to COVID vaccines, with some developing symptoms shortly after vaccination, others after COVID infection itself, and several having PAH long before either. Many community members described complex health journeys involving multiple hospitalizations, blood clots, oxygen dependence, and worsening breathing difficulties, with several expressing gratitude that vaccines may have prevented worse outcomes even while acknowledging uncertainty about potential connections. A recurring theme was the medical community's own uncertainty about these relationships, the importance of individual risk assessment and self-protection measures like masking, and the reality that definitive answers may take years to emerge.

It does make us wonder, especially since the vaccines didn't have enough time for trial and error. My PCP had to convince me to have the vaccines. He said at my age, if I got Covid I wouldn't make it. So far I've been blessed .
No Covid! I don't go out in well populated places without a mask. We will never know. Years from now it may come out.

Yes, mine was diagnosed after the vaccines. My daughter had questions about this since it's a lung problem. My cardiologists when ask, said" we don't know, not enough information. You are helping us write the book"

Ah right I see, I had no issues before I got my vaccine and 2 days after the vaccine I couldn't breathe and 3 months later I have PAH.
Like that my doctors have no idea what happened.
