Emotional
I initially caught a cold in December which exacerbated my asthma so I was treated for asthma. The cold went away but the shortness of breath didn’t. I have a tightness in my chest when I breathe and I’m short of breath all the time, mostly on exertion. I saw a pulmonologist and right away he thought PH. I had an X-ray and CT and it looked like my pulmonary artery was slightly dilated. I had a PFT done and my DLCO was a little low. I’m waiting to have an ECHO, ABG, and 6 minute walking test done.I’m sure the heart cath comes next.
Has anyone else mild sudden onset symptoms? what else could these symptoms be mistaken for?
This has all happened in the past 2 weeks. I’m just accepting that I have PH. Im an RN and so is my mom so we know what’s coming. Trying to stay strong.
