Happy Tuesday friends! Welcome back to another episode of That’s So Chronic. Today I’m down in sunny Dunedin to interview Olivia Leonard, who is living with a diagnosis of Chronic Thromboebolic Pulmonary Hypertension or CTEPH for short.
In this episode Olivia shares with us the lead up of events that resulted in the doctors finding a blood clot in her lungs, how she manages studying as well as her symptoms, what being diagnosed with CTEPH has taught her about life, and the dilemma of being at risk of developing severe illness with the cov, while being medically exempt from wearing a mask.
Just a note, this episode was recorded in October 2021.
As always, I love hearing from you! So don’t be afraid to reach out over on instagram or tiktok, I’m @thatssochronic.
All additional information is below… And I’ll see you next week!
