Conquering Life with Pulmonary Hypertension - Karen’s Story

A young mother of 3 didn’t feel well after her last pregnancy. Pain and swelling in her leg sent her to the hospital only to discover that she had developed a blood clot. When the blood clot moved into her lungs, doctor James Tarver with Florida Hospital, discovered that she had a condition called Pulmonary Hypertension that restricts blood vessels in the lungs and increases chances of blood clots (Pulmonary Embolisms). This is her story of what she experienced through this illness and how the lifesaving surgery she received brought her back to living a full and happy life.
