Paul B asked:


I was already diagnosed with HBP and now after going to the doctor a few days ago, I was told that I have Pulmonary Artery Hypertension. I was just wondering if the PAH was a result of the initial HBP I already had. Thx.

      The pulmonary hypertension is increased pressure treatment is with vasodilators and diuretics in the pulmonary vessels become constricted hypertrophied and fibrosed severe pulmonary hypertension leads to right ventricular overload and occasionally chest discomfort and failure symptoms are fatigue exertional dyspnea.
      The pulmonary hypertension is not found.

      You don’t give your age,the remainder of your medical history,your medication history,ethnic origin.occupational history nor smoking history,any of which might be linked to your PAH.

      It is not linked to hypertension,in fact most is of unknown aetiology. It may be linked to COPD which is why I asked about smoking history. I assume that you have neither CHD,sickle cell anaemia or mitral valve disease as I am sure you would have mentioned them,all can lead to PAH.
