Annie,
The link between MG, and PH for me is that about 30 percent of my lung muscles have been affected by Myasthenia Gravis.
So, trying to exercise, and such with breathing issues, caused my heart to pump more..etc.. and I also have some regurge..in one of my valves. Anyways, everything is connected, and for myself this is how MG is Linked to my PH.
I just had a kidney biopsey yesterday...pretty sore today.
But that linkage goes like this..Myasthenia weakened lung muscles, cause pulmonary hypertension, Pulmonary hypertension causes loss of Oxygen, and loss of Oxygen to my organs, causes them not to work correctly, resulting in kidney disease.
Please people, keep up with your labs, your blood pressures, your over all health. Don't slack on any of it. It's so important.
Not that I did, but if I hadn't kept up with my appointments, who knows I may have gone on to be with the Lord by now.
Keep a good communication going with your doctors, it's so important!
Love Lizzie
P.S. I feel like I should have sung that song.."the leg bone connected to the hip bone....etc.." LOL
