Patient's question:
Doctor, my daughter is 20 years old. She has been telling me that she feels chest tightness and shortness of breath, sometimes even a bit difficult to breathe. My husband and I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was pulmonary hypertension. I would like to consult the doctor if pulmonary hypertension can be cured.Doctor's answer:
According to the current situation you described, if your daughter often feels chest tightness and shortness of breath, with a hint of pulmonary hypertension causing this condition, the common causes should primarily be considered as heart problems. Lung diseases can also lead to this, but it should not be ruled out. If this occurs, it is first necessary to rule out organic heart inflammation. If it is caused by organic heart inflammation, surgery can be performed. If it is a lung disease, it is recommended to prevent the spread of the disease.
