Training with Pulmonary Hypertension

[CDay]

I was diagnosed with PH, explains a lot of my training/hunting issues. I am still barely above needing O2, but my walking is greatly declined.
Is anyone else hunting with PH? If so, how are you training? Any tips you’ve learned? IE carry o2 rescue bottle above this altitude, breathing breaks, distance backpacking, etc.
For me, it’s one thing I want to do till I just can’t. Working with pulmonologist, cardiologist, specialists also. FWIW, I once was called “super fit” by Dr.s, ridding up to 500 miles a week, running, lifting, climbing etc. . . now well making the most of every day!
Thanks

A lot of this will depend on what the etiology of your PH is. WHO group? treatment is also based on this- there are a variety of new meds coming online for primary PH, secondary is really all about treating your heart.

Pulmonary rehab can also work for a lot of people in order to maximize functionality.

Proper exercise dosing is going to be very important for you along with proper medical management. Once you're considered stable, a good strength training program and cardio training based off of heart rate zones is going to be important for longevity of your hunts!
