PAH Roadmap to Diagnosis

Talk to your healthcare provider: 
Shortness of breath and other vague symptoms, such as fatigue, can be a sign of various medical conditions. That is why it is important for you to share all of your symptoms, medical and family history with your provider. Sometimes an overworked heart causes breathing symptoms that might get missed. Ask your provider if a simple blood test, called a BNP test, which checks your heart function may be right for you.
