PH Fact For The Day
Today's PH fact for the day is this:
The symptoms of pulmonary hypertension often mimic other diseases or illnesses, including asthma. For this reason, so many people are often misdiagnosed for long periods of time because they are told they have asthma, or they need to lose weight, etc. Symptoms of PH include shortness of breath (SOB) when doing the simplest of things (like walking down a hallway or getting dressed), extreme fatigue, chest pain, dizzy spells, and fainting.
