Members clarified that pulmonary hypertension is not staged numerically but classified by functional class (WHO Classes I-IV) based on activity limitations and by severity using mean pulmonary artery pressure measurements, with some noting the difference between functional class and WHO group categories like Group 1 PAH. Several members shared their own classifications and positive experiences, including one who no longer needs a CPAP machine and was cleared to go a year without seeing their specialist, while another emphasized the importance of discussing all symptoms directly with doctors rather than relying solely on online searches. A recurring theme was gratitude for faith, prayer, supportive family, and compassionate medical teams as essential pillars in managing the condition and celebrating progress.

I always talk to My Doctor about everything and any Questions that I have. I don't Google anything I talk to My Doctor because everything doesn't apply to everyone just like medication don't work for everyone I never gave up on myself and didn't feel sorry for myself I pray about it.

I also just did a little searching via Dr Google and found this from AI:
Severity Classification

Mild: Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ≥ 20 mmHg but < 30 mmHg
Moderate: mPAP ≥ 30 mmHg but < 40 mmHg
Severe: mPAP ≥ 40 mmHg

MarkNiederhauser2 a lot of the initial questions you are asking over the last couple of days you need to also bring up with your official doctors. While we all here are able to help explain things in an understandable and informal way, it is also best to share your concerns with all your treating physicians so they can understand the scope of your symptoms, the reporting accurately of them, and making a reliable documentation of the appearance and initial existence. Friends are fine, but nothing like an expert to provide the accurate nuts and bolts of all your condition's idiosyncrasies and severity.. You also need to discus your co-conditions so the complications are accounted for in a cohesive way.
