tI 's a life –long condition, but it's not I always life –limiting
Pulmonary hypertension affects everyone differently, and PHA UK member Sarah Pyett is keen to show that the condition can sometimes have positive outcomes. She wrote this blog for our sister website, www.phocusonlifestyle.org n July of 2013 I was in London to run the British 10k. In September of the same year, I returned to the city to attend a friend's wedding. I clearly remember getting off the tube at Tower Hill station, walking up the steps to the street with my suitcase, and feeling a pressure in my chest when I reached the top. The feeling passed within a few seconds, I shrugged it off and carried on enjoying my weekend of celebrations. Over the next month or so, I experienced that feeling of pressure more and more often. I’d get it when I walked up the stairs at home, when I got out of the car to walk into the supermarket, and any time I went from a relatively relaxed state to exerting myself in the slightest.
