Most people with PH have other illnesses as well. I have COPD which is empathysema and other lung problems as well as sleep apeona and heart failure. Most PH sufferers have heart failure on the right side of the heart.
It can make life complicated as what is good for one problem can make the other worse. Your suppose to drink a lot for instance when you have COPD but having heart failure you are meant to limit what you drink because it gives you problems with retaining fluid.
Its complicated but can be interesting because you need to know about your illnesses and understand them so you can help yourself and manage your condition so you do tend to learn a lot about medicine and drugs and different treatments. Life sure is complicated with PH but never dull.
