  • Do You Have PH And Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis?

    Posted by Colleen on February 18, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    Welcome @ammann60!

    Janet is a new member who was diagnosed with PH last year and has lived with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis since the 70’s.

    I read in the National Heart, Lung and Blood institute website that Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis is a rare immune system disorder that affects the lungs. It occurs in some people after they breathe in certain substances they encounter in the environment.

    Janet, perhaps you can share a bit of your experience with this other rare disease and how it has effected your PH – but only if you feel comfortable doing so.

    Do we have any other members living with both Pneumonitis and PH? If so, I invite you to share your experience as well.

    Hi, @ammann60. Did you work in an environment that possibly led to your hypersensitivity pneumonitis? I know often this can be caused by specific exposures.

    Thanks, @colleensteele, for creating this topic.
