Pulmonary Hypertension is a unique and often misdiagnosed medical condition that causes high pulmonary artery pressures in the lungs. It is more common in men than women, is different and often confused with COPD and asthma, and is the result of constricted pulmonary arteries.
Signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, right sided heart failure, edema, light headedness, and dizziness.
