PAH-forum

Background
PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension) is a heart and lung disease which can strike anyone at any time of life. With symptoms including tiredness, shortness of breath and nausea, it resembles other more common diseases like asthma and COPD, which means it can take a while to conclude the correct diagnosis. Without treatment, the median survival time for PAH patients is just under three years.

Website
PAH-forum.se is a site which is completely dedicated to PAH: how the disease is detected, how it feels and how it is treated. The site is full of accounts from patients, films and everything worth knowing about PAH. The PAH forum is aimed at people suffering from PAH and their relatives, and people who have not yet been diagnosed. The aim is to ensure that more people are diagnosed earlier. Listen to stories from patients, get answers to frequently asked questions and pick up advice and support for people living with the disease.
