Check with your doc: No known connection as far as i know. However, pulmonary hypertension is a serious issue and you want to have close follow ups with your lung doc. No fooling around.

Yes: This is likely due to your increased weight but could be due to other cause. You should be evaluated by an expert in pulmonary htn.
