Anyone with pulmonary hypertension?
So here’s my current situation. after learning that my RVSP number was 32mmhg, my dysautonomia specialist sent me to a cardiologist who then told me my echocardiogram looked normal and my number was within normal range and that pregnancy raises pulmonary artery pressure. (She did not redo an echo by the way, this was from the one my dysautonomia specialist did). At the time I was about 7 weeks postpartum. So my first dilemma is should I believe that I’m actually fine? My second dilemma is that I have pretty serious ADD meaning I nearly get into car accidents from inattentiveness. I stopped taking my vyvanse when I found out I was pregnant but I am now looking to start it again. At first my dysautonomia specialist said not to take it anymore after she did the echo, now she is saying it is safe to take it even if I did have mild PAH. I even asked the cardiologist and she said she has no experience with adhd medication. 🤷🏻♀️ so I don’t really know what to do. Have any of you taken vyvanse or an adhd medication with PAH? Not saying that I have it because that part is still a bit unclear to me. I just don’t want to take my medication and then it turns out I really do have it or something. Also, has anyone else been through this situation where everything is all wishy washy? I don’t go back for another echo until 6 months.
