How Can Breathing Difficulty While Suffering From Pulmonary Hypertension Be Treated?

I was perscribed 10 milligram. Auto astatine for some partially blocked arteries in my legs. I do not have high colesteral. My breathing has become worse. I do have pulmonary hypertension. I also have fatigue and some vision problems. Is this dose age capable of this. Joyce Strom YYYY@YYYY

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having DVT (deep venous thrombosis) (partially blocked arteries) in legs, we must rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) as a cause for your pulmonary hypertension.
So get done CT pulmonary angiography.
If PE is there then you will need thrombolytic therapy.
If PE is not there and you have only pulmonary hypertension then you should take newer drugs for pulmonary hypertension like Bosentan, ambrisentan, tadalafil etc.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
