What is the treatment for pulmonary hypertension that is responding poorly to medication?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: it really depends on what is causing the pulmonary hypertension because some advanced cases that is not responding to medication might require a lung or a heart-lung transplant, that doesn't necessarily mean this is the case. I advise you to stay in touch with a cardiologist.

Pulmonary hypertensi: There are a variety of causes for pulmonary hypertension. The treatments for each are not all the same. Even knowing the 'cause' of a case of pulmonary hypertension, the appropriate therapy may not always be effective. Discussing with the treating physician is the best first step. Referral to a Pulmonary hypertension specialty center may be needed.
