Pulmonary Hypertension!!!???

Just found out from the pumonologist I may have pulmonary hypertension! Not sure if they are gonna let me get sleeved on the 21st  More tests on Friday the 8th. Cat-scan and more! From what I'm understanding this is serious! I was really getting pumped for sleeve surgery and now this!!!

Oh my goodness. However, it's good that they found it now instead of later.

Hang in there.....Sending a prayer your way

Hi GrnEydLady,

A diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension should be taken very seriously. I encourage you to learn more at http://phassociation.org/NewlyDiagnosed. The Pulmonary Hypertension Association's website can connect you with resources, much needed information, and can assist you in asking the right questions throughout the diagnostic process. You can also call 1-800-748-7274 to speak to another patient one-on-one, or search for a doctor specializing in pulmonary hypertension in your area at http://phassociation.org/Patients/FindADoctor.

I wish you good luck and good health!

It is good they found out now before your surgery, and you're scheduled for tests in a couple of days.  It is a serious condition but now that you know you have it and your doctor(s) are already proactive with scheduling you for tests so quickly, you'll know more. 

Please keep us posted.  Best of luck to you on Friday!
