Pulmonary Hypertension |
Pulmonary Hypertension at age 4801/23/2006 |
I am a 48 year old female with a PDA. I was diagnosed, using an ECHO, with pulmonary hypertension. My systolic pressure is 44. I had an ECHO in 2000 and 2003 and the Dr. told me today, that my pressure was 28 both times. PH was never mentioned until today. I take Zebata (5 mg. per day)for an irregular heartbeat. My cardiologist doesn`t seem to think my PDA is the cause of the PH. What is my prognosis and should I get a second opinion. My cardiologist is consulting with a University of Michigan pediatric cardiologist and has scheduled me to come back in 6 weeks. My symptoms for the last 6 weeks are shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, cough.
The pulmonary hypertension is likely from the PDA and will need to be treated.
