Denis Sokolov, a cardiologist, told the Russians about the health risks of pulmonary hypertension.
This is a condition when blood pressure becomes critically high in the pulmonary arteries. The most deplorable consequence can be death. Despite the rarity of pulmonary hypertension, it is important to know who is at risk.
“At risk are people with a hereditary predisposition, as well as those who suffer from chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system and lungs,” the doctor warned.
Attention to their health should be given to those who suffer from asthma, bronchitis or sleep apnea, when breathing is interrupted during sleep, writes RIAMO .
“Treatment of pulmonary hypertension may involve the use of drugs that lower blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries,” Sokolov advised.
Symptoms include constant weakness, shortness of breath, swelling, chest pain, and heart problems. It is important to streamline your lifestyle, nutrition, give up bad habits and bring moderate sport to life without harm to the heart.
“Severe cases may require surgery,” the doctor warned.
