Yes: I gather from your meds that you've either had a transplant or have vasculitis. Vasculitis can cause pulmonary htn. The commonest cause of phtn is congestive heart failure from any cause including valvular disease, cardiomyopathy, and intracardiac shunts. . Primary (or idiopathic) pulmonary HTN also is a possibility but it's thankfully relatively rare.
