Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of pulmonary hypertension include shortness of breath, palpitations, chest pain, hemoptysis, syncope, etc. In severe cases, due to pulmonary hypertension, the pressure in the right ventricle and right atrium increases significantly, causing the foramen ovale to reopen, leading to right-to-left shunting and resulting in cyanosis. In the late stage, heart failure may occur, presenting with symptoms such as abdominal distension, poor appetite, and lower limb edema. If you notice any of the above symptoms, it is important to visit the hospital early and not delay seeking medical attention.
