Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

No it is not serious as pulmonary hypertension is you is mild, but you need to get evaluated for the cause of this pulmonary hypertension. This is because if pulmonary hypertension severity increases with time then it can turn out to be a serious issue.

The cause of pulmonary hypertension are many but common among them are Heart problems and lungs problems. In your case the chance of lung problem is high as x ray shows hyper aerated lungs, it means there is some degree of air trapping happening in your lungs.

Hence kindly get evaluated further . But no need to panic or give up applying.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
