Answer:
Pulmonary hypertension usually is a result of congestive heart failure. Do you have a bad heart? If it's worse, go to the heart doctor, or the pulmonologist right away. This is not something to wait around on.
Are you on drugs for it? You need them. Yes you have it for the rest of your life.
Call the doctor.
Hi there
My daughter was diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension 6 months ago when she was 9. Please continue to see a cardiologist and get medication for it. PH is a progressive disease and medication can slow it down. Medication will do wonders...My daughter is on Tracleer and Sildenafil.
Pulmonary Hypertension is high blood pressure in the main artery and blood vessels between the lungs. This is what causes the right ventricle in the heart to enlarge. (The heart is trying to make up for the oxygen your lungs are not getting).
Go to www.PHAssociation.org
There is info on there for you to find a doctor,get medical updates,advancing the cause (alot of people do not know what PH is), support and just general info.
