Pulmonary hypertension following an exacerbation of COPD

@karen216- Welcome to Mayo Connect and good morning. I can only imagine your shock when you found out about your pulmonary hypertension. It's enough to have COPD (I have it too) but to add another disease on top of it that makes breathing even more difficult is a song that isn't easy to hear. Until my first lung cancer in 2017 when I saw a pulmonologist for the first time I had no idea that had anything like COPD. I knew that I must have had emphysema because every smoker has that. but COPD- what was that? What choices have you and your doctors made to treat this?

Hi Merry,,,,,, remember me. Guess what , after a couple of years of quiet in the lungs, I had my ct scan last month and something to start watching again. They took m y records to a meeting this after to see if this a wait and see or lets do something now. So I am waiting for a phone call. I am guessing thats its going to be another wait and see and do the scan again in 3 months. I had a round of copd this last winter and that took about 4 months to get thru ,,,, in and out of hospital. Otherwise its a day at a time and I am now in assisted living which is a very big adjustment. My prayers are with you and everyone here........ Keep in touch Merry............ Joan
