Can asthma cause high pulmonary pressure?

Patient's question:

I am only in my 30s today, but my asthma is quite severe. I have been worried that it might lead to pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, I want to understand whether asthma can actually cause pulmonary hypertension and whether this situation might occur again.

Doctor's answer:

Asthma can lead to high pulmonary pressure, and if this situation occurs again, timely treatment must be implemented. Appropriate pressure can be selected, and oxygen should not be too pure. Carbon dioxide retention can be used, but long-term use will definitely lead to dependence, so it is best to breathe on your own as much as possible. A small amount of hormones can be used to expand the airways, which can also be beneficial for breathing. Spend more time in better environments.
