A member asked:
What is the treatment for someone who has severe pulmonary hypertension, especially in an elderly person who has copd and pulmonary oedema? would a diuretic and frusemide spray be likely to be enough?

The cause: Has to be searched. Is it real pulmonary hypertension or left sided heart failure causing it or the copd. Both the cardiologist and the pulmonologist should see the person and make the diagnosis and treatment of all conditions.
