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?

Wonder if anyone is still following this thread....
I had a left and right heart CATHETERIZATION end of 2023. They could not complete the right side, and Comments were "Low CVP with flat and small IJ vessels despite 1 liter of fluid infusion precluded RHC with exercise."
I did a TTE and results were indicative of pulmonary hypertension group 2, 3 ...I have pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. My pulmonary function test values dropped, and I was prescribed O2 for exertion and night sleep.
What I am wondering is if anyone else has been told they have flat and small interior jugular vessels and if any treatment was advised
