“Stories That Oxygenate The Soul” – Laura’s Pulmonary Hypertension Story

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disease diagnosed when arteries responsible for carrying blood become thick, stiff and clogged. Normally, the arteries transport blood from the heart to the lungs, but in PH the vessel flow is hampered leading to abnormally high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. 

Pulmonary hypertension is a serious and overwhelming disease and it’s commonly misdiagnosed because its symptoms are similar to other lung conditions.

Raising awareness for this devastating condition is of ongoing importance.
