Living with PH and Fibrosis
Pulmonary Fibrosis is one of the common causes of pulmonary hypertension. It does a lot of damage to the vessels and lungs. It scars the lung tissue and makes it difficult for the organ to work properly. In an article I read the two diseases were referred to as a “dastardly duo”.
I also read that idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is often diagnosed after PH. Do you have both PF and PH? Which were you diagnosed with first and what are your treatment options.
Here are links to a few informational articles.

@dan1520tampabay-rr-com is a new member who mentioned in his bio that he has PH and IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis). He points out the relationship between PH and IPF. “If one has IPF, then chances are PH is also diagnosed.”
This topic started in 2019 but did not receive any comments. I thought now would be a good time to try again.
