Suggest Medication For Mild To Moderate Pulmonary Hypertension
I recently had a echo cardiogram (doppler) with conclusion that I have mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension. This test was completed at the end of May. I also have a leaking aortic value which was the reason for the test. I am a 64 year old male and would like to know what my life expecteancy is.

hi
moderate pulmonary hypertension and aortic regurgitation can be age related.
not to that extent hampering your life expectancy.
low dose anti-hypertensives can control both if you have any symptoms related to this problem.
do not worry, please discuss with your treating doctor to start with you on small dose of anti-coagulants & beta blockers ( if not contraindicated).
all the best
