Were you tested for primary pulmonary hypertension?

This is a blockage in the pulmonary blood vessels, so you cannot oxygenate your blood properly. It is not common, but it happens. It is more common in women. And has a genetic component in some people. Treatment is with an IV pump containing Flolan. There are other treatments too.

See if you can find out if you have been tested for this.
