Symptoms of Pulmonary Hypertension - The Signs Can Save Your Life

February 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Pulmonary hypertension can go unnoticed until the point at which symptoms have reached uncomfortable levels, resulting in seeking treatment and a diagnosis of the problem. Pulmonary hypertension is a dysfunction of the lung that results from the narrowing of the pulmonary arteries which are responsible for providing blood to the lungs. This makes blood flow difficult, and as a result, the blood pressure rises beyond normal levels; the high pressure causes the heart to enlarge. Pulmonary hypertension occurs in individuals of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds.

The first stages of symptoms are:

  • Shortness of Breath
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Fainting Spells
  • Swelling Lower Limbs
  • Bluish lips & Skin
  • Chest Pain

Advanced symptoms of the disease:

  • Palpitations
  • Faster Pulse Rate
  • Passing Out
  • Dizziness
  • Shortness of Breath Continually

Pulmonary hypertension has many known causes, including the use of certain prescription drugs such as “Fen-Phen,” liver diseases, rheumatic disorders, lung conditions, certain heart diseases, blood clots in pulmonary arteries, low-oxygen level problems, and a genetic predisposition to the illness.

All of the causes of pulmonary hypertension are the origin of painful and bothersome symptoms a person feels typically before being diagnosed. During the first recognized symptoms of pulmonary hypertension, one should seek medical attention before advanced symptoms appear.
