Suggest Treatment For Mild Pulmonary Hypertension

I was diagnosed several years ago with mild pulmonary hypertension. Lately, I've been short of breathe occasionally with activity and very tired. My lips look like I have blue lip liner around them. I also have Raynauds. I'm wondering if this is a sign of the PH getting worse?

Well it seems like there is some underlying connective tissue pathology causing all these symptoms. PH Raynauds and blue lips all point towards constricted blood vessels causing decreased blood supply leading to these symptoms. A repeat Echo with Pulmonary Artery Pressure values can determine the severity of your PH.
