"Why Am I Dizzy And Off Balance?"

A myPHteam Member asked a question 💭
Hinton, WV

My cardiologist answered me when I asked him ," Do I have Pulmonary Hypertension or Arterial Hypertension?" He told me that I have both and didn't answer me when I asked, "What does that mean?" And when I asked could it be my medicine making me dizzy." He answered with "Could be." but did' t proceed any further. What do you have for an answer?

I'm not trying to be rude, but you need a better doctor. I would not leave my doctor's office without answers. "Could be" is certainly an unacceptable answer. My first pulmonologist was an idiot. Told me I would be dead in 2 years. Here 3 years later I'm doing well. The physician's I have now are great and I can't leave their office until THEY feel I know exactly what is going on with my health. They don't leave any stone unturned. They test, test and test and explain, explain and explain. The Lord has blessed me-leading me to the best healers.
I hope you can find a physician that can help you.

Have you been able to check your blood preasure out……a home arm cuff is wonderful & accurate. It would be interesting in knowing if your blood pressure is toooooo low or tooooooo high……or just right

PAH is a rare form of PH. Definitely check your blood pressure. I would also get a new doctor, if this one doesn't answer your questions!

I should be able to come off blood thinners in 2 months because I had a watchman installed almost 4 months ago. My husband just got his first stent at 80 and as soon as it is healed he can go off blood thinners.

That's too bad! doctors are also teachers who help you to understand your problems and know whea each medication is for. Keep asking questions
