@tcarson52 why did they do a right cath if nothing showed up on echo? my echo showed borderline increase in pulm pressures. Wondered what they recommended to take. concerned because 1-3 yrs is not a good outcome. I wouldn’t be doing a pft test. that can really be hard on heart i would think.
I think my breathing got worse after a stress test. Would you please let me know what your future plans/meds are. I appreciate your reply. thanks.

@lizjlb the pft test is only breathing into a tube like thing, it is not bad on the heart at all. You just breathe into machine, then breathe in they talk you through the test.
Heart dr said nothing wrong with my heart. Yet I’m talking BP med and something to slow down my heart so I don’t have much of a strain on it. It’s very confusing to me. You have 2 doctors for one problem.

@lizjlb because on a CT I had in hospital it said extensive calcium build up in arteries. I read that and made appointment with cardiologist. He is the best. Did the echo it said no PH but he went farther and did the heart catheter test which showed the pressure in both arteries were up. My BP was also high. I didn’t have bad restrictions from calcium but did have PH. I’m on 2 meds to lower BP and help my heart beat slower so not such a strain
