Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, possibility of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is more in your case.
MS (mitral stenosis) is one of the common cause for PH.
Another possible cause is Pulmonary embolism (PE).
So better to consult pulmonologist and get CT Pulmonary angiography and 2d echo.
CT Pulmonary angiography is needed to rule out PE. 2d echo is needed to rule out PH.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
