Hi friends, may be this post is bit offtopic, but I think this is the right place to ask this question. I have had all of the symptoms of PPH for several weeks. Doctors have done an EKG (pulse was 118), chest x-rays, and a CT scan of my chest (ruling out pulmonary embollism). They also did a ton of blood work that all came back normal. I'm currently waiting to hear results of my blood sedementation test. They said they had no clue and I should just be relieved after the CT, but I'm not. Does anyone know if they could have already ruled out pulmonary hypertension?
