There have been numerous threads here where we discussed the effects of altitude on all 5 groups of PH. I have often commented on how fortunate I am to live in the Phoenix area whose low altitude is so PH friendly. I am originally from NYC but also have lived in Connecticut and westchester county, NY. Both of those areas were also fairly low altitudes. I am Group 2, Left Heart Disease.

Hi Lacey, I was born and raised in St. Lawrence County NY.

Yes, some conditions are because you live in a certain area, however I haven't seen anything that says this is. Just the population of our ph family here are from all over the world, having said that, I haven't met many from Southern hemisphere.
