How can hypertension affect breathing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HTN and breathing: if the blood pressure gets high enough it can lead to heart failure and pulmonary edema where fluid backs up into the lungs causing shortness of breath and low oxygen levels. This can be an acute or a chronic process.
