@WardiGabriel@UCSDHealth And thank you for being the best ED doctor. You did such a great job with Mona!! I had my vaccine today as well and didn’t hurt at all! No side effects except a little soreness on my arm. Barely noticeable
@actelion_com @pulidot Speaking as a nurse specializing in PAH, I do PAH inservices and training for the local hospital nurses. I also frequently speak at support groups including Better Breathers, PAH support groups and the scleroderma support groups. #WorldHeartLungDayChat
@actelion_com PAH patients need to balance all aspects of their lives including psychological, emotional and spiritual needs. Holistic care and treatments emphasize whole body care. For example, meditation, reading, support groups. Caregivers can be included as well. #WorldHeartLungDayChat
@actelion_com Awareness can be increased by providing more education to Primary Care Physicians. Because the early symptoms of #PAH, very few of the doctors/midlevel providers think of PAH as a diagnosis. #WorldHeartLungDayChat
@actelion_com Raising awareness will help. Local support groups, social media, local radio and news stations are perfect platforms for raising awareness! #WorldHeartLungDayChat 1/
@actelion_com Eventually a heart working against high pressure in the lungs can fail. This can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue. #worldHeartandLungDayChat 4/
@actelion_com When you have PAH your heart has to work extra hard to pump blood into your lungs. Over time the right side of the heart becomes enlarged and weak. #WorldHeartandLungDayChat 3/
