Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension, or high blood pressure in the lungs, can result from changes in the pulmonary arteries that affect circulation of blood through the lungs and result in shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness or lightheadedness with activity, leg swelling and other symptoms. If untreated, pulmonary hypertension may result in heart failure and significant disability or even death. Click here to learn more ➦.
