RN,
I am so sorry to hear of your health problems.
PPA is frightening.I took fen-phen and suffered haert valve problems and borderline PH. It scares me.
It has been a few years since I have done any research but I know since the fen-phen that the treatments have improved remarkably. In your case, if find something causing it it might be reversable, right?
Some of the people I found on the net had unbelievably high numbers-much higher than yours and they were taking a new medication that was really helping.Did you say that you oxygen sats were in the 50's?!
I can't imagine how you were walking around. Did you go to the Dr. specifically due to symptoms?
I have touched the fear that you are experiencing. There was a time where my diagnoses was not clear but was leaning towards pph. I was terrified and cried myself to sleep every night. I am hoping for no progression and mostly I am in denial about it.
I will pray for you to have a reversal.
I am full of empathy for you and am hopeful that you will have a good outcome.Peace,
Kaye
