I've had RHF (Diastolic Dysfunction) for several years but was only diagnosed with PAH last October. RHF also produces shortness of breath but I'm pretty sure I've had the PAH for just about as long as the RHF but it just wasn't diagnosed.

Linda: I know you hate having procedures of any kind…but PLEASE ask your team about your getting a CardioMEMs implanted via RHC. It will prevent your having a lot more RHCs down the road and having access to your actual numbers will give you peace of mind. Totally covered by insurance if you have both PH and Diastolic Dysfunction
