A member asked:
Is there any treatment for pulminary hypertention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not curable: Pulmonary hypertension often happens by itself or in relationship to another disease of heart / lung. There are a variety of medications used for treatment (including "viagra") but the effectiveness is so-so. Most patients with "idiopathic" pulmonary hypertension do eventually become seriously sick from it, but short-term management is much better nowadays.
