Travelling with PH

PHA UK member Lois Parker enjoys regular foreign adventures with her husband, despite living with pulmonary hypertension. She wrote us this letter to share her experiences of travelling in a campervan – without the worry of flight oxygen, airport security or fit-to-fly letters.

Kay Yeowart MBE is the co-founder of PHA UK. Her son Lewis was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension 20 years ago, aged 13, and the family have had many holidays together since. Here, Kay shares her tips for travelling abroad with PH and the steps to take to minimise the risks.

Having pulmonary hypertension shouldn’t stop you enjoying a summer holiday overseas – it just requires a bit more planning. Here, we answer the travel questions we hear most often in the PHA UK office.
