My mother's doctor told her today he thinks she has pulmonary arterial hypertension. She is 89. If she indeed does have PH, that likely explains mine. I hope the doctor errs. He based his diagnosis on an MRI.
She has several of the symptoms including SOB and swollen ankles, which sent her to the doctor in the first place. He prescribed lasix, potassium and an appointment with her heart doctor. The heart doctor can work her in on the 26th.
Mother always has been healthier than I. She exercises religiously and wears a size 2. I hope the doctor is wrong, but I fear he may be right. Not something you would want your elderly mother to go through.
No matter, we will deal with it.
Later, Dude.
I'm hoping and praying he's wrong. ((((HUGS))))
