Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment

Unusually breathless while walking or climbing stairs, with fatigue, dizziness or reduced stamina you can't explain? These symptoms may point to elevated pressure in the lungs — and deserve specialised evaluation.

Understanding pulmonary hypertension

When breathlessness has no clear explanation.

Do you feel unusually breathless during everyday activities? Have you been told your heart or lungs may be under increased pressure? Do you experience fatigue, dizziness, chest discomfort or reduced stamina without understanding why? These may be signs of Pulmonary Hypertension.

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a condition in which the blood pressure inside the arteries of the lungs becomes abnormally high. As pressure within these vessels increases, the heart has to work harder to pump blood through the lungs. Over time, this can affect both lung and heart function, leading to worsening breathlessness and reduced exercise capacity.

At Healthy Chest & Sleep Clinic, Dr. Vishal Sharma provides comprehensive assessment and management of Pulmonary Hypertension, helping patients improve symptoms, maintain activity levels and protect their long-term health.

Common symptoms

Symptoms you should not ignore.

Pulmonary Hypertension often develops gradually and may initially be mistaken for ageing, lack of fitness or other respiratory conditions. Because symptoms are often non-specific, diagnosis may sometimes be delayed.

Breathlessness on activity

During physical exertion

Fatigue and low energy

Persistent tiredness

Chest discomfort

Tightness or heaviness in the chest

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Feeling faint or unsteady

Fainting episodes

Loss of consciousness

Rapid heartbeat

Palpitations or a racing heart

Swelling in legs or ankles

Fluid retention in the lower limbs

Reduced exercise tolerance

Routine activities become harder

Our approach

How we care for pulmonary hypertension.

Pulmonary Hypertension is often a consequence of another medical condition. Identifying the underlying cause is a critical part of treatment planning and long-term management.

Comprehensive clinical assessment

A detailed evaluation of symptoms, medical history, lung health, heart health and associated risk factors.

Diagnostic evaluation

Pulmonary function testing, chest imaging review, oxygen assessment, echocardiography review, sleep and exercise capacity assessment.

Identifying the underlying cause

Understanding the root cause helps guide the most effective treatment strategy.

Personalised treatment planning

Plans tailored to disease severity, underlying diagnosis, symptoms, oxygen levels and lifestyle requirements.

Long-term monitoring

Regular follow-up to monitor disease progression, treatment response and overall cardiopulmonary health.

What better disease control looks like

Improved breathing comfort

Better physical endurance

Reduced fatigue

Enhanced daily functioning

Improved oxygen levels

Better quality of life

Service FAQs

Common questions, answered.

No. Pulmonary Hypertension affects the blood vessels within the lungs and is different from the high blood pressure measured in the arm.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity. While some forms may not be completely curable, appropriate treatment can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.
No. Breathlessness may result from heart conditions, lung diseases, or a combination of both. Proper evaluation is necessary to determine the cause.
If you have unexplained breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance, persistent fatigue, or have been advised that you may have Pulmonary Hypertension, specialist evaluation is recommended.
Expert care for complex breathing disorders

Early diagnosis can protect lung function.
