Hello, I am scheduled for a right heart catheterization (RHC) tomorrow morning, as well as an Echo, and a cardio bicycle test… busy morning. All of this is required in order to determine my eligibility for Winrevair. The hospital is about 90 miles away, so we will have to get an early start.

Best of luck with your procedure tomorrow. I know its nerve racking but it will only be to better qualify you. I will keep you in my prayers.

You will be fine!
Good luck tomorrow!
Thoughts and prayers will be with you tomorrow. May God give you peace. 🙏 And praying 🙏 also that you will be able to get in Winrevair! It definitely is a PAH life changing drug!! I was on it for about 8 months and it was wonderful, I felt good, my pressure went way down my BNP went way down. But I have scleroderma and that causes me to have these veins in my stomach to bleed so my Dr took me off of winrevair. And now my lung pressure is back up, BNP went up and now moderate grade 2 dialostic dysfunction heart failure. Good luck tomorrow and really hope you can get on Winrevair! God bless!
