The problems people who suffer from Pulmonary Hypertension have are often complex because you often have a number of illnesses as PH is often caused by other problems and in turn causes other problems.
Many doctors because they do not come across PH often fail to understand the complex problems and so either misdiagnose problems or fail to treat them properly.I feel doctors would learn more if they actually listened to patients more.Listen to how they feel and there opinions of what they think any problems are.Patients live with the problems all the time and they are I feel not just in the best position to talk about the problems but are also a wonderful font of knowledge about all that is concerned with there illness.
I read recently that one girl was told that she didn`t have PH she just had post natal depression. This is the sort of nonsense that goes on because of doctors failure to listen and needs to stop.As they say that there is none so deaf as those that will not listen and in my experience there is no better description of a lot of doctors than that wise old saying!
