Pulmonary hypertension

[Guest guest]

My cousin has recently been dx with this and is suffering badly. She has the

idiopathic type as she has no autoimmune diseases. Anyone out here who has had

success treating this with antibiotics or any treatments? Please let me know!

Thanks,

Carol E from NY

hearing that he saw patients in NYC but I have never seen him there....here is

his NJ phone number so you can call and get the info you need. If you ever need

to look him up online...you can look up Summit Medical Group in NJ and then just

click on rheum...or his name...I think I remember you used to see him along with

at his NJ office. I miss . Hugs, D

hernia. These symptoms were accompanied by fatigue. My GP put me on Rinitidine

an anti-ulcer tablet but the symptoms worsened over a month. I then stopped the

Methotrexate and took Arthrotec, declofenic(?) and my wheezy chest became much

less wheezy and I can swallow food and burp with 5% of the pain.
