Pulmonary Hypertension treatment in Coyoacán

Pulmonary hypertension is an abnormal increase in pressure in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. This elevated pressure forces the heart to work harder and can progressively affect its function.

Frequent symptoms:

• Shortness of breath with exertion
• Weariness and fatigue
• Dizziness, palpitations, or swelling in the legs

When to seek care? If you notice you become short of breath with activities you used to tolerate well, or you feel marked fatigue, it's worth getting it checked.

Which specialist evaluates it? The study of pulmonary hypertension usually falls to the cardiologist and the pulmonologist, in coordination with the internist. Detecting it in time with one of these professionals allows for proper monitoring of the heart and lungs.
