30 Days of PH: Growing Up With PH - Pulmonary Hypertension News 30 Days of PH: Growing Up With PH - Pulmonary Hypertension News Posted: 13 Nov 2020 07:00 AM PST Day 13 of 30 Days of PH⁣ Topic: Growing Up With PH This is Tatiana's story @lolmamio531    My life before I was diagnosed is significantly different from how I have to live my day to day life now. I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) at age 5. It is believed that I had always had it, but they never found it until then. Living out my life pre-diagnosis was hard.

First, it taught me to slow down. I was an active single mom of 4 small children when I got diagnosed. And my life flipped upside down. It hasn't been easy, and this is something I still struggle with today, but I know I have to listen to my body and take it easy, or I will definitely pay for it later.  PH has taught me to ask for help. This is something that doesn't come easy to me at all. It has always been me and my children against the world. Now, it's me, my children, and my family against the world. PH has shown me who truly deserves a place in my life, and...
