Patient Profile

My PH Story

In the spring of 2011, I began feeling heaviness in my chest and found myself increasingly out of breath and in pain. After 5 months of testing by an allergist, pulmonologist, and cardiologist, on September 1, exactly one year after my move, I was diagnosed with Functional Class 4, Idiopathic Primary Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. I was given a 2% chance of survival over a 6 month period if treatment failed.
