I know that drugs like Viagra etc,,, are used for pulmonary hypertension as well as erectile dysfunction. I'm a nurse and had a guy come on our floor with sildenafil as a regular medication. I asked the doctor why and he said the pulmonary hypertension. So I could see a use for what your husband said.
tracleer can cause liver problems. someone taking it must be followed closely. the pulmonary hypertension must be treated so it must be used. there are multiple other medications though that are being used to treat portopulmonary hypertension, including viagra.
As far as I can read, Concor it is similar to Viagra, a potent vase dilator used for pulmonary hypertension. Was the same dr. that also gave you Nicoget? That seems to have nitrates and both together can cause a large hypo-tension that can produce the increased HR.
Other possibility is that you are anemic.
You should contact your caregiver for advice regarding your medication as they would have your medical history, general health, etc. There is a noted drug interaction with Viagra and warfarin in certain patients. In patients who have pulmonary hypertension, there is an increased risk of bleeding when taking these medications together, etc..
Thanks for your question, take care.
we have come so far and to hear this is just crushing. i tried looking up hypoplastic left heart and hypertension and i found this page. please if you could give me some peace. or the truth.
I have just been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. I am 49 and presented to my MD after I noticed a significant developement of DOE when training for a marathon. I am an avid runner and cannot imagine not being able to run. I was hoping for a general opinion from someone that understands exercise physiology as well as cardiology.
Hi,
Viagra will prolong your erection but I’ll suggest you to consult your physician before starting on Viagra and rule out certain important diseases like hypertension, coronary artery disease before starting on Viagra. Viagra can cause hypotension (low BP) and can tend to worsen hypertension and coronary artery disease.
I hope that helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Although pulmonary arterial pressure can be estimated on the basis of echocardiography, pressure measurements with a Swan-Ganz catheter provides the most definite assessment. Pulmonary hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary vessel (PVR)vresistance cannot be measured directly with echocardiography. "A diagnosis of PAH requires right-sided cardiac catheterization.
As unrelieved pulmonary hypertension can lead to right-sided heart failure. Signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension are often subtle and nonspecific. The diagnosis Pulmonary hypertension is a complex problem characterized by nonspecific signs and symptoms and having multiple potential causes. It may be defined as a pulmonary artery systolic pressure greater than 30 mm Hg or a pulmonary artery mean pressure greater than 20 mm Hg.
Is the pulmonary hypertension causing the right ventricle enlargement and the tricuspid regurgitation and would this then be primary pulmonary hypertension. Or, can you explain what is causing her pulmonary hypertension.
I have been told my my mother's cardiologist that her tricuspid regurgitation is causing the pulmonary hypertension. But I have talked to other doctors that tell me that the pulmonary hypertension is causing the tricuspid regurgitation.
i have tested my theory many times since the early 1980s. i was born 1952. my first experience with pulmonary hypertension was after an surgery had sodempentathall was my anesthetic .
is it Primary Pulmonary Hypertension or is it so-called Secondary Pulmonary Hypertension, the most common causes of which include recurrent pulmonary emboli (clots to the lung), disease of a heart valve, or estrogen or appetite suppressant therapy.
While pulmonary hypertension is a somewhat common disease, the cause may not immediately evident to one’s doctors.
There are many causes of pulmonary hypertension and establishing the cause may require collaboration between the pulmonologist and a cardiologist. There are pulmonary hypertension clinics at many academic institutions. You might want to check on this at your nearest university hospital.
Good luck.
Thank you My right heart cath said My mean pulmonary pressure was 35 and pulmonary capillary pressure was 14. So I quess I do have Pulmonary Arteial Hypertension. One specialist said I did the other said that I did not because of my size. I was very confused. Thanks for answering my question.
If HOCM has been treated the incidence of pulmonary hypertension is usually less. And pulmonary hypertension can be due to other causes also. It may indicate a poorer prognosis, but this depends on the clinical symptoms and others cardiac factors. Regards.
If a large enough residual, it could lead to chronic pulmonary hypertension, with chronic right heart strain and/or in some instances, shunting of blood (at the atrial level) from the right heart to the left heart through a patent foramen ovale. For all of the preceding reasons, and especially with the recent onset of chest pain, you should have a cardio-pulmonary reevaluation at this time, with a CT scan and an ECHO to assess pulmonary hypertension.
Other than that I’m a normal weight female so he didn’t see a reason to follow up. I asked if he was sure it was mild pulmonary hypertension and what could I do to help myself and he said just exercise and eat right. The visit was frustrating because he didn’t respond to my questions which were all valid.
5 phentermine pills to lost weight she gave it to her every 3months for a year with no break and 1year and a half later she was diagnose with pulmonary hypertension and she never had a history of problem before taking this pill she played basketball for her school and passed out playing one night so i stop her from playing basketball and that was the start of my nightmare with this disease i alway read u got to be 16 years old and u can only take it for 3 months out of the year and that's fo
Thanks for posting! I see the pulmonary hypertension cardiologist today and will ask him about my heart function. However, he told me everything looked normal but all he looked at was the stress echo test. I've been tested for pulmonary emboli and it's been negative. My pulmonary specialist said that it's possible it's a precursor to a lung disease that hasn't shown up yet on the CT scan. She just doesn't know which disease it is yet.
