Can pregnancy cause pulmonary hypertension?

Patient's question:

I am currently pregnant and experiencing severe pain every day, feeling very uncomfortable. Especially at this stage, as the pregnancy progresses, even taking a nap is painful. So, I would like to ask, does pregnancy, specifically in the early stages, lead to pulmonary artery hypertension?

Doctor's answer:

If nursing is not properly taken care of during pregnancy, it can lead to pulmonary artery hypertension, as you mentioned, which would be quite serious at that time. Therefore, it is best to ensure proper nursing during pregnancy. First, you need to maintain a good lifestyle. Your routine should be regular, pay attention to rest, and avoid overtime work. In terms of diet, it should be based on light and simple food, but nutrition should not be lacking either, always maintaining a balanced diet.
