Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Now a days, newer drugs are available for pulmonary hypertension (PH).
PH especially due to connective tissue diseases (CTD) is showing good response with newer drugs.
Currently available drugs for PH are bosentan, sildenafil, ambrisentan, tadalafil etc.
Ask your pulmonologist about these drugs and start any one of them and see for any improvement.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
