Travelling with PH

For Essex-based Tess Jewson, a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension at 17 years old was never going to define the boundaries of her world.

Lois Parker has a passion for travel, and she doesn’t let being on oxygen therapy stand in her way – enjoying a recent tour of the UK with her husband and their faithful motorhome. The 80-year-old shared her experiences and photos for other people with pulmonary hypertension.
