    Hello- my name is Patrick Martin and I have been diagnosed with PH about 3 months ago. Other than a water pill, I am not on any meds. at this point. I had a sleep study last week and waiting for the results.

    My right side of my heart is severely enlarged and my estimated pulmonary pressure via doppler was 78-83 mmHg.

    I am constantly exhausted and cannot work.

    Does anybody have words of wisdom/experience in filing for SSDI?

    Thank you!!

    @pmartin4595gmail-com welcome to the forums. I’m happy to see you jump right in to share and ask a question.

    I’m a bit surprised that you are only on a water pill. Are you seeing a PH specialist? If not, I highly recommend getting established with one.

    Your question about SSDI is a good one. I’m going to start a topic about it in our sub-forum, “Working With PH”. I will tag you in it so you can easily find it.
