Welcome to the group, Shackackarn. It's lovely to have you join us.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem. While I have mild ephysema, I don't have sclerosis or PAH.

Hopefully someone will be along soon who will be able to share their experience with you.

I have severe COPD and have just been diagnosed with Pulmonary hypertension after undergoing a cardiac catherization test at Papworth Hospital and the result means I cannot have the LVR Operation to my right lung as I would not survive the operation. There are only around 6 centres in England which oversee this condition so what test did you undergo and where to confirm your PH. I go back to Papworth in August to see how I'm coping with the new meds. Hope you get the correct follow-up
