Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious condition where the blood pressure in the lungs’ arteries becomes abnormally high, putting strain on the heart and reducing oxygen delivery throughout the body. At Pulmonary Obesity & Sleep Specialists of Houston, we specialize in the early detection, evaluation, and long-term management of this complex condition.
Common symptoms of pulmonary hypertension include shortness of breath, chest discomfort, fatigue, dizziness, and swelling in the legs or ankles. These symptoms often progress gradually, which makes early diagnosis difficult but critical. Without treatment, PH can lead to heart failure and severe limitations in physical activity.
We use a combination of diagnostic tools including echocardiography, chest imaging, pulmonary function testing, 6-minute walk tests, and blood work to assess your condition. In some cases, right heart catheterization may be recommended in coordination with a cardiologist for definitive diagnosis.
Treatment is highly personalized and may include oxygen therapy, pulmonary vasodilator medications, diuretics, and supervised exercise programs. Our goal is to reduce symptoms, slow progression, and improve your ability to carry out daily activities comfortably.
If you’ve been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension or experience unexplained shortness of breath, contact us at (281) 652-5864 to schedule an evaluation with our pulmonary care team.
