I have a whole raft of tests being carried out over next couple of weeks to see if I have pulmonary hypertension. The consultant thinks I do. I know nothin about this condition and what questions I should be asked or information I should have.
If anyone has Hughes and has experience of developing pulmonary artery hypertension following PEs I'd be grateful for any advice.
Many thanks.

I was diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolisms a few years ago,i am now on warfarin for life.
Since having the blood clots i have chest pain everyday, and still cough up blood everyday for a few years doctors said it must just be scarring live with it! but earlier this year 1 was diagnosed with bronchiectasis.
i dont know if your condition is similar but i was referred to a physiotherapist to learn breathing exercises and now take long term antibiotics to prevent infection in the lungs.
