We are the local support group of a nationwide organization that supports people, both patients and medical staff with information on pulmonary hypertension. Symptoms of pulmonary hypertension include shortness of breath with minimal exertion, fatigue, dizzy spells and fainting. PPH is extremely rare, occuring in about two persons per million population. Pulmonary hypertension is frequently misdiagnosed and has often progressed to late stage by the time it is accurately diagnosed. PH is historically chronic and incurable with an unpredictable survival rate that has not been encouraging to patients, their families or physicians.
