Pulmonary hypertension

Michael Wooller — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:46:17 +0000

Pulmonary hypertension refers to the high blood pressure supplied to the lungs through the arteries. Blood vessels supplying blood to the lungs tighten and the walls get thickened. This restricts the flow of blood and the heart is forced to work harder. During high pressure, less blood circulates through the lungs resulting in the patients becoming very tired, short of breath and dizzy. However, congenital heart disease can result in Pulmonary Hypertension and it is essential to repair the problems of the heart prior to permanent pulmonary hypertension development. A hole between two ventricles also causes much blood flow and sometimes even the narrowing of the valve causes pulmonary hypertension. Fixation of the valve reverses the pulmonary hypertension.

On the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, it is a must to undergo medical therapy. Regular follow-up and check-up with a cardiologist is essential in caring for patients. As long as this disease prevails, it will cause pulmonary hypertension. However, curing it is possible as various treatments are available. The treatment is given with oxygen and heart pumping agents and severe medications to reduce pulmonary hypertension. Lung transplants are also done sometimes. A pulmonary hypertension patient can have a fulfilling life. Yet, considerable measures as well as precautions should be taken. This is an illness for the entire life and can worsen owing to certain factors such as going to high altitudes or smoking.

Pulmonary hypertension patients should be physically active as much as possible. Avoid doing isometric activities and exercises that generates dangerous symptoms like dizziness or chest pain. It is better to follow a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program to promote conditioning. Proper and adequate rest is also very essential. Using over the counter drugs or other medications should be done with care. Before taking any sedatives or anesthetics, consulting your physician regarding the safety of medication is essential.

Pregnancy should be avoided and oral contraceptives also should be totally avoided as it aggravates Pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension patients should take additional precautions such as taking supplemental oxygen and antibiotic therapy. Consulting your doctor and then following certain exercises is recommended. Eventually, if you are undergoing medical treatments for pulmonary hypertension, stopping any of these medicines without the approval of your physician can turn to be highly dangerous. Though, medical therapy has shown significant improvements, it does not eliminate pulmonary hypertension completely. As this fact is well-known it is best to follow the diet patterns and exercise routine with proper medications and regular checkups.
