I have had pulmonary hypertension for 2 years now. Got immediate help, probably because I'm a nurse. I am 62 years old now, and was working full time 12 hour shifts when I was diagnosed. I had shortness of breath, with minor exertion, especially when walking up inclines, got frequent respiratory infections, and started have chest pain and tightness. I now go to Pulmonologist at Baylor Medical Center in Houston, and have not seen too severe an increase in my condition. I take Letaris, Revatio, Ventavis, Adactone,and Diovan for my treatments. They do all seem to be helping. I get frequent echocardiograms and see my doctor frequently. Am also in a study for Ventavis.

Pulmonary hypertension came into my life on December 22, 2007 at the young age of 21. Family and friends were noticing that I couldn't walk far without stopping for breath, and would be breathless with most activities. I went for an echocardiogram and was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. My treatment at first was put on bosentan, was stable up until last year, when I experienced decreasing energy levels. I am now on bosentan, and sildenafil.
