A member asked:
Could cryofibrinogenemia cause shortness of breath and/or mild pulmonary hypertension that increases at times in intensity, improving overall with daily low-dose hydrocortisone?

Sob: It is possible to develop sob because the disease affects the small and midsized blood vessels. Giving a picture resembling pulmonary emboli this can lead to pulmonary hypertension... Low doses of Hydrocortisone may be little helpful.

Theoretically yes: Cryofibrinogenemia increases your risk of arterial and venous clots. Anything that does this, including clotting disorders, can increase your risk for pulmonary hypertension. And because cryofibrinogenemia is associated with inflammation, Hydrocortisone treatment would theoretically decrease inflammation and your risk for pulmonary hypertension.
