The Difficulties of Diagnosing Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
In a video from GSK, Iain Armstrong, the chairman of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association U.K., talks about pulmonary hypertension and some of the difficulties PH patients face when it comes to diagnosis. Armstrong explains that it is very difficult to diagnose pulmonary hypertension because the initial symptoms can often be attributed to getting old, being overweight or unfit. By the time patients get around to seeing the doctor about their symptoms, the disease has often progressed significantly.
Did it take doctors awhile to accurately diagnose you with PH? If so, why do you think that was?
