My condolences to his family. Being a PAH patient for over two years now has been really scary. There is no one in my family that has it and that just didn’t sit well with the doctors that I was being taken care of. My whole life change within a blink of an eye when I was told at 40 that I also have heart failure as a result from PAH. I choose my religion to help me to cope with my health and the support of my children. I won’t give up on myself or others battling with these health issues. I do trust GOD and will stand on his word of healing and strength.
