Symptoms of Pumonary Hypertension

The symptoms for all types of pulmonary hypertension may be similar, but the severity of the symptoms usually correlates with the progression of the disease:

• Breathlessness on exertion
• Shortness of breath that progresses without explanation and does not get better with common treatments
• Chest pain
• Dizziness upon standing, climbing stairs, straightening up from a bent position, or even while just sitting
• Fainting
• Loss of energy
• Swollen ankles and legs
• Dry cough
• Reynaud’s Phenomenon (chalky white and/or dusky blue fingers that may be painful and can sometimes be provoked by the cold)
