Suggest Remedies For Hypertension And Shortness Of Breath
Ok I went to cardiologist did an echo and told me I had a small leaky valve. Nothing to worry about come back in one year. This was in June today I called cause been having shortness in breath with work I talk to nurse and said in my file it said I had mild pulmonary hypertension. Now I m scared cuz I m 34 and never said anything about this wouldn t he have put me on meds
Hi, Pulmonary hypertension is increased bp in pulmonary blood vessels. It is generally associated with underlying lung disorder like Asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease & others. It can also be because of some cardiac abnormalities. Mild pulmonary hypertension generally does not require treatment & can be controlled by treating the primary cause. It can also be present in obese individuals where controlling of obesity is the primary treatment. Specific treatment for Pulmonary Hypertension is required in severe form or moderate symptomatic form. So follow the advice of your physician & you will be fine. Mild leaky valve will not cause much symptoms & can be normally present in some individuals. Thanks Take care
