Hello It has a lot to do with a cardiovascular, when you got to the Hospital with a flare up then do blood test to see how the heart is. I go every 6 month to him

Your pulmonary doc may want an opinion on your cardiovascular health before deciding on a therapy.

I have both of these doctors and they work together as a team. Your heart and lungs work as a team also and they depend on each other.

The reason my pulmonary doctor recommended me too a cardiovascular doctor is when I have flare ups it cases my irregular heart beat too speed up or slow down really bad and both doctors keep a check on it as it also causes pressure on my lungs.
