I have been diagnosed with PAH pulmonary artery hypertension. I am frequently short of breath when cleaning my house and while chasing after my 3 kids. I know there are newer treatments; what do you think of these treatments?
Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a condition that causes higher pressures in the lungs and subsequently thickening of the arteries in the lungs. It causes symptoms of fatigue and shortness of breath, just like you are having. The newer PDE5 inhibitors are similar to the medications that you see advertised for erectile dysfunction, and have been found to improve the symptoms in patients with PAH. See your doctor or pulmonologist to see if these are good medications for you.
