Coping as a Caregiver

CaregiverAs a caregiver for someone with pulmonary hypertension, you devote a lot of your time to someone else. When your day-to-day concerns are tied to someone else’s comfort and care, it’s possible to put your own physical and mental health on the back burner.

While you may feel as if you don’t have time to tend to your own needs, the reality is that the most effective and supportive caregivers are those who also take time to take care of themselves. The resources in this section explore how caring for someone with PH can affect you: your emotional health, your relationships and your outlook.
