Hi @teakettle2 welcome to Connect! You may have noticed I have moved your post to this thread on Pulmonary Hypertension so you can read what others have said about their experience with this condition.

I wanted to share this link that gives an overview of Pulmonary Hypertension: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-
conditions/pulmonary-hypertension/symptoms-causes/syc-20350697

Your motto is a great way to look at this recent news and I hope it is bringing you comfort at this time.

I wanted to tag the @racerjon @cognac @ornelasrebecca and @lyndylou as they have discussed living with pulmonary hypertension in the past and may be able to offer advice or support for you.

@teakettle2 what symptoms are you feeling that led to you getting the test for done for pulmonary hypertension?
