Thanks for sharing your experience. It's interesting that there can be such a difference in what is considered "normal" pulmonary pressure. I have read and was told that normal was 20 or less and when my third echo measured mine at 51 (after two echos in the 40s) the cardiologist said it was time to get the RHC and see what it really was. With that procedure it was measured at 30 which is still mildly elevated. I keep thinking I should be on that furosemide also.
By the way what exactly is perianal abscess - how does one get it and how can it be prevented? What happened to your brother is scary and I hope it wasn't fatal.

My PA pressure was 25. When I was sick in August my echo estimated it was 80! I think the dapagliflizin helped, along with the spironolactone.
The SGLT2-I certainly cause perineal infections because they lower the threshold for excretion of glucose. If your pancreas is top notch, and you don’t have diabetes it pre diabetes, your odds are pretty low. I read excellent hygiene helps, which I guess means using a wet washcloth after urinating if your sugar runs high. The Stelo is a device you plug in your arm to keep track of your blood glucose.
