Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Tammy, I'm so glad that the heart cath went well. It is not a pleasant thing, that's for sure. Did the doctor tell you that there is medicine now available for Pulmonary Hypertension? Take care of you. My next door neighbor got a big blood clot after her cath. She had to go back and spend a week in the hospital. She told me that I should walk through the house at least every hour or so when I got home from my cath. So I did do that for a week.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Brett, Actually it is a heart condition. In our case it's caused by our lung condition. But, it is diagnosed with testing done by cardiologists. Echocardiagrams, etc. Heart catherization is the best test. Some cardiologists say it is the only way to really know. When a pulmo suspects it, he sends you to a heart guy. Another doc, another bill.
