If you suffer from Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), you’ll want to consider taking action regarding a risk for Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD).

Despite your lung issues, you’re willing to take action to be more active with your family and friends.

Now here’s action you can take:

• Be on the lookout for pulmonary hypertension (PH)
• Talk to your doctor about this related lung issue that often occurs in people with ILD and has similar symptoms

PH-ILD stands for pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease, a serious and progressive disease. Breaking down the parts of the name “PH-ILD” can give you a good idea of how they often occur together.

People with ILD may develop PH at any time.

Having ILD puts you at high risk of developing PH. It can develop at the onset of your ILD, or any time after. It’s important to catch PH early. But the symptoms of PH are often similar to ILD, making it challenging to recognize.

That’s why it’s important for you and your doctor to check regularly for PH.

You can make a difference in detecting PH early. Take charge of your health by partnering with your doctor.
