Yes that was the main reason. I drank a lot and had been trying for years just to slow down, not easy. Finding out I had PAH( Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension)The was the Big now or never. I'm trying to start eating more healthy and I'll do better for a little while. Then not so good for a while. I had lost about 25 pounds last fall, I have not weighed since the holidays I'm afraid of what the scales will show.
