Eric “EB” Borstein, a pulmonary arterial hypertension outpatient, overlooks his trekking segment through Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton on Sept. 25, 2024. Living with PAH can significantly impact mobility and daily activities. PAH patients often experience shortness of breath, fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance, making physical activities challenging. As the disease progresses, these symptoms can worsen, leading to increased difficulty
performing routine tasks and reduced quality of life. "I learned that walking helped mitigate the side effects of the medication,” Borstein said. “So, the blocks turned into miles, and as time went, the walking helped both with side effects, but it also just helped me mentally psychologically living with a terminal disease."
