I hope this information regarding nailing down the proper diagnosis may be helpful to someone suffering with this frequently 'challenging' disease. Perhaps a portion of the point of the following article is that when assigned a PH diagnosis, punch your way through the occasionally unpleasant medical tests, until you're absolutely sure what you're dealing with...

The disease Hypertension can be a
frightening scenario. Additionally, just as high blood pressure is
difficult to identify, it does affect 1 of 3 adults in the United
States alone. Coincidently, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a rare
disease and it does not have a cure. If you were to become a victim of
this rare arterial disease, immediately seek Pulmonary Hypertension
treatment.
