Speech: Imagine what it would be like having to live out the rest of your life with a tube in your cheat that is connected to a machine which pumps medicine into your body. Ph also known as Pulmonary Hypertension is a rare lung disorder that causes high blood pressure in the arteries that supports the lungs. There are many different types of Pulmonary Hypertension such as Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (when high blood pressure is in the pulmonary arties), Familial Pulmonary Arterial (when it is inherited), and Associated Pulmonary Arterial (when it is associated with another disease). A cardiovascular disease is  one of the main causes of death in women. Not only is a part of family history, but it can come from being obese as well. Pregnancy as well as using drugs and other toxins is also a huge risk factor of PH. The first symptom of Pulmonary Hypertension is usually shortness of breath with everyday activates such as walking and climbing up and down stairs. Fatigue, dizziness, and fainting spells can occur later. As the condition worsens some symptoms may include irregular heart beat, swelling of the ankles and legs, chest pain, bluish lips and skin, and Raynaud’s phenomenon (Chalky white and/or dusky blue fingers that may be painful and can sometimes be provoked by the cold). Pulmonary Hypertension can happen to people of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds. Although anyone can get PH there are risk factors that make some people more susceptible.
