Pulmonary Hypertension [again]

[puddy68]

I'm so sorry to bother you all again. I mentioned on my last post that I was still on the waiting list to see a respiratory specialist, after being discharged from hospital in September, after having pneumonia and being diagnosed with COPD [They didn't even seem to realise I had PH, as they had lost the referral my GP had sent to them in August]. Going through my past records that I have kept at home, I now realise that I was first diagnosed with mild - moderate PH 2 years ago. I didn't follow through with this then due to my anxiety disorder [my own stupid fault]. [My latest test results, which they lost/couldn't find, indicated my PH was now classified as mild]. I have a couple of questions - can PH improve, as these tests seem to suggest? I also called the hospital where I am on the waiting list, and they said it would not be February until they could see me. [I still don't know if they realise I have PH - I took it upon myself to send these test results to them, but if they were read/acknowledged is anyone's guess. I'm so scared that I'm not being treated for PH [I am on Cardivilol for portal hypertension/cirrhosis of the liver, and my liver specialist said this would also help my Pulmonary Hypertension, but I just don't know who to trust any more]. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
