I'm trying to understand how serious mild pulmonary hypertension is and if there's a way to stop it from getting worse. Is it possible to treat it before it becomes severe?

Mild pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is slightly higher than normal. It can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and fainting. If left untreated, it can progress to more severe stages. Treatment for mild pulmonary hypertension aims to manage symptoms and prevent progression to more severe stages. Medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) can help improve blood flow in the lungs and reduce symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking can also help manage mild pulmonary hypertension. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
