I was going through my old medical records (10 years ago or more) and I found a report that I had not noticed before. Considering the size of my files, it is not surprising that one report was missed. In any case, the report indicated I had Pulmonary Hypertension. This was never mentioned to me then or since.
I have been having problems for the past year or so with increased SOB with activity, fatigue and/or just general malaise. My cardio says it is because I am out of shape and slightly overweight. I disagree with his diagnosis because I was in the same shape and weighed the same (or a little less) when I lived in California and did not have this problem
So, questions - Does PH ever go away? If I was diagnosed with it once, can it go into remission and show up based on where I live. In other words, does the area you live in affect PH (weather, smog, mold, etc.). I am also wondering (rhetorically, of course) why this wasn't mentioned when it was intially diagnosed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, in advance.
