Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in 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 the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension are?Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to assess the severity of pulmonary hypertension. If it is mild pulmonary hypertension, there will be no obvious symptoms. If it is severe pulmonary hypertension, it will first lead to a decrease in the size of the right ventricle. Secondly, it can cause a reduction in the amount of blood flowing to the left heart. The patient may experience low blood pressure, dizziness, or even fainting during physical activity. In cases of pulmonary hypertension, it is necessary to specifically identify the underlying cause to confirm the appropriate treatment.
