Yes!!! You are right! My diagnosis was delayed for several years. And not taken very seriously. Scleroderma, pulmonary hypertension, now congestive heart failure now. I got a wonderful cardiologist today and I have hope. I’m 65 and have had scleroderma 30 years.
Totally brilliant. I truly wish all practicing doctors will have the same compassion and understanding of how to practice their profession to fully benefit their patients. It is often becoming rare and hard to find this breed of doctors who find time to educate people, so they would be able to grasp understanding of their untoward signs and symptoms, enabling them to seek early medical attention before their condition gets worse, and increase their active participation in their medical diagnosis, care, and treatment.
Thank you for sharing this. I was diagnosed with PAH and systemic sine scleroderma. I found this video very interesting. I wish more doctors would take the time to discuss things that you shared in this video with their patients.
Thank you SO much! I’m 47 years old and seeing a cardiologist and pulmonologist. Which I’m and going through the stages of trying to find out if I have Pulmonary Hypertension or not. You were very clear, informative and to the point. Thanks for helping me understand the basics of it.
You have helped me so much dear Sir. I have been educated and intern I have requested specific tests from my doctors. After much arguing with the cardiologist he did the right heart cath and it was found I have Pulmonary Hypertension. After suffering for over 2 years. With the information I learned from you, I have finally been diagnosed correctly. Your videos are saving people's lives. You are wonderful dear Sir.
Mary Koon ! I'm in a very similar situation to yours and I'm wondering why your doctor didn't want to do the catherisation test originally, without you having to pressure him ? Speed of diagnosis is essential, and needless delays don't make sense. Can you give me some idea of what he was thinking, so that I may be prepared in advance as I'm meeting a cardiologist next week for the first time ? Any advice would be really appreciated.
Hello Mrs Koon I'm Regina and in 2020 I was diagnosed with PAH and I'm now on 4 treatments to help me to breathe.

Please don't think this is a scam just go online and check it out. I hope that all is well and that you have a good heart and lung team!
Suspected Systemic Sclerosis (Scleroderma) 80 % of patients have Pulmonary Hypotension awaiting ANA blood test and Echocardiogram to confirm diagnosis. This has been so helpful.
They told me I had elevated pressure to my right heart and mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. With this video it sounds like I have this! They didn’t say the name and I haven’t seen cardiologist since I had this test yet but am waiting. So I believe this is what they will say. My family dr told me about the results of the test but didn’t give a name. It sucks when we’re left to learn on our own but thanks to you it makes it so much easier! This is the best description for us who have little or no medical education. I appreciate it being explained in normal terms but also using the medical term so we can put it together and learn more! Thanks
Dr. Gupta I know this information was meant for someone else however you may have saved my life. I do have a PFO that I have delayed getting repaired. There is more yet my point is my medical care has been to just lose weight and it will be resolved. I now understand and can get the tests I need. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for this. I’m currently going through a multitude of testing to rule out pulmonary hypertension and your provided me with great information and it helps me as the patient to have appropriate expectations and a better understanding of the diagnostic testing, outlook, treatments available, and what the doctors are looking for. Thanks again! :o)
I was diagnosed with PH about 10 years ago. After trying different treatments I had a new right heart cath and they told me I don't have PAH, it is not in my arteries, so it is ph cause unknown.They believe my worsening is my heart. It seems I have High Output Heart Failure and they reduced my sildenafil. I go to the heart failure clinic in early October. As the PH is treated with vaso-dilators, and the HOHF is treated with vaso constrictors I am kind of running out of hope that their can be a treatment for me. As for the PH, they don't know what caused it, so I can't treat the cause. Thanks for putting this together, the key to survival is early diagnosis. If someone watching this is dealing with this disease alone, there are several support groups on Facebook.
@@SachinPatil-yc8nl PH Family: Global Pulmonary Hypertension Support Group is one that I am in, and Dealing with PH as a Woman is another.

Hey. What were your symptoms I’m panicking thinking I might have it. I’ve been having shortness of breath and high blood pressure also some chest pains.
@@Elemxnt45 Pulmonary Hypertension is high blood pressure in the lungs. Shortness of breath, fatigue, sometimes chest pains, but that can be related to the heart failure associated with the PH. What you are describing could be a heart issue unrelated to your lungs, but you should talk to your doctor and check your heart. PH usually causes the right side of the heart to enlarge. They can do a heart echo to test the pressures but the only for sure way to check the pressures in your heart is to do a right heart cath...so there can be many steps to getting diagnoses and it often goes undiagnosed for years as it seems like so many other health issues. So make an appointment with your GP right away and discuss with them your symptoms, write them out before hand and any questions you may have.
@@jc478 in your case with PH was there a family history of it? No one in my family that I know of has had it but I’m want to weigh out all my possibilities. I’m getting checked out again in April
Hi Dr. Sanjay. You are very much appreciated and I feel you have helped enormously many people. Even with your busy schedule you manage to educate others. Wow we have the expertise from you and explained in a easy way for us to understand.Mind you yourself look extremely tired.I have much respect and praise for you. Thank you so much.Take care.
Thank you so much for this information. You're crusade to educate is so needed. I was diagnosed with borderline PAH through an Echo. My pulmonologist did a chest x-ray and found my heart was normal. When I questioned about what the diagnosis means I was promptly told not to worry about it. I asked if it will simply go away and he ignored it. I believe it is better to educate your patient rather than promote ignorance. In the meantime I will continue sleep apnea treatments as I suspect that was the culprit.
The same exact thing for me. Was told not to worry at all ...I'm just on normal high blood pressure medications. They say it will take care of the mild PH
@@tinnishome1869 I was diagnosed with ambulatory hypoxia. The doctor didn’t trust the results and made me do the 6 minute walk test twice to prove it. He did an X-ray of my lungs and said they are fine. I have a chronic cough and am now on oxygen. He is still ignoring the diagnosis of borderline PAH and hasn’t repeated a test to ensure that it hasn’t advanced. There isn’t another pulmonologist that my insurance covers within 50 miles that isn’t in the same medical group. He hasn’t even tried to find out what is causing all of this. I think this bruised his ego that he’s been wrong and won’t admit it. I hope others are having better luck finding decent doctors.
Thank you so much for such a thorough explanation of this challenging condition. I have recently been diagnosed but I live in a relatively small town with ONE lung doctor for the entire area. Thank you again!
When I went to hospital to be hospitalized in April 2018 for not being able to breathe for several months, doctors behaved like I was lying and pretending my problems. I was listening from 6 doctors for months, since June 2017, that my problems were caused by psychosomatical reasons, that I should just find psychologist and I will be fine. Cardiologist, pulmonary specialist, vessels specialist, alergologist, psychiatrist, practical doctor etc. Pulmonologist suggested even yoga, so I can "learn to breathe properly". Psychiatrist wanted to hospitalize me on psychiatry, so I can go on psychotherapy and that will solve my inner problems and I will be then able to breathe normally. Every one of them dismissed my symptoms, which started last June. It was clear to me, that my problems with breathing must be caused by problems in heart or by lungs. The first thing I did was, that I went to cardiologist. She did echocardiogram. And she didn´t find anything. Symptoms were getting worse and worse. In August I visited alergologist. Nothing. In September I visited pulmonologist. Nothing. In September I started to vomit, had diarrhea, coughed so much, because I was suffocating, that I vomited. Nausea 24/7. In december 2017 I lost consciousnes when I got coughing attack and my brain didn´t have enough oxygen. When I fell, I injured my legs, I fell in the bathroom and hit my head with the wall. I sometime lost consciousness sitting in the chair. At work I had to eat only in the morning, because I went home at 4pm and it took me one hour to get home. I didn´t eat after morning, because I tried to avoid possibility of having diarrhea or having to vomit in the bus or at the bus station. If I ate then when I got home, I vomited that meal too. I vomited once few meters from bus station, minute after I got out of the bust. Once I got home in the last second, I had to hurry, even when I couldn´t breathe, because I got diarrhea at the bus and I held it as I could. Since January my legs were getting swollen and then they were swollen even to half of thighs. I couldn´t walk. I had nervous breakdown during visit to pulmonary doctor in January 2018 (I have also asthma), I just couldn´t take it anymore physically and psychologically. No doctor cared to find out why I couldn´t breathe, why I was able to walk max.3 steps and then stop. In April 2018 it was so bad I went to hospital. Doctor touched my horribly swollen legs with two fingers and said, that they aren´t swollen. They sent me to CT. Nothing. After like three hours there they sent me to cardiologist, I had to carry my heavy packages I had prepared for hospitalization, and this doctor did echocardiogram and suddenly found, that I have very severe pulmonary hypertension and ordered me to immediately sit down, because “you can´t walk around in such state”. After two days they sent me to centre for pulmonary hypertension and PH specialist did right heart catheterisation and confirmed, that I have Pulmonary arterial idiopathic hypertension, in the worst phase and said, that it was developing in me for 2 years already! And that without immediate medications I would be dead within few months! But according to those 6 doctors I was perfectly OK and I couldn´t breathe due to my depression and anxiety, while whole time I was dying. And that doctor, according to whom I didn´t have swollen legs? I lost 11 kilograms in two weeks in the hospital. All of it stored water. Lazy doctors. Lazy cardiologist last July. Lazy pulmonologist. If only that cardiologist last July really did her work, I would be diagnosed in so much better state and now I don´t know, if I will be alive in 5 years. Without diagnosis and medications I would be dead by now already. Per the last study among patients with Pulmonary arterial hypertension, we are usually diagnosed within 4 years since first symptoms. I didn´t have 4 years. I would be dead within 3/4 year since first symptoms. After doctor told me diagnosis, I had nervous breakdown and developed PTSD. I used to go to theatre, cinema, library, fitness - nothing of that is possible now. I used to ride on bicycle around my town - impossible now. I barely walk. Since spring 2019 I walk with cane, but I am able to walk only few meters till I have to stop and rest. I have arythmia, palpitations, sometimes syncopes from coughing. I am on full disability. My skin is horribly dry, my hands and arms itch. I live in the chair in the living room with laptop - youtube, TV shows, pinterest. I can´t read much anymore, I can´t focus on longer texts. Since my dad died, I can´t read fanfiction. I had to leave my job, where I was best in my team. I was diagnosed late, very late. My PH specialist said directly, that without immediately getting on meds, I would die in two months. Meds are maybe keeping me alive, but I don´t feel better. My health state is getting worse and worse. I loved my independency. Now I have nothing. Only depression, anxiety and PTSD, huge problems with memory and concentration and I can´t even go on massage, so my back will hurt from no movement till I finally die. I was on Veletri for 8 months. It was horror. I was getting worse. So they took me off Veletri, put me on Revatio - Sildenafil with beautiful side effects of the worst anxiety attacks I have never experienced in my whole life and with huge problems with sleeping. After two months they put me yet on Uptravi - amazing side effects of days lasting diarrhea. Thanks to Sildenafil I didn´t sleep properly for 3/4 of year, now I am on Trittico and Rivotril for sleeping and trying Cipralex to help with depressions and Xanax. Plus I am on Volibris. I don´t feel better. Since this year 2020, prices of basic food in Czech republic went rocket high, vegetables, fruit, meat, even potatoes. Some food is even 100 % higher. I get to my bed on 1st floor step after step with horrible arythmia and hoping, that I won´t faint on stairs. I go upstairs only once a day for sleep. The rest of day I spent in the living room, only going to toilet and kitchen. I take 250 mg of diuretics every day. Omeprazol for heart burn. B-complex. Contraception. And I have heart burn from drinking water, so I can´t drink it. I have also allergy on most of fruits. I am exhausted 24/7. Everything physical is unbelievable exhausting. Also, oxygen doesn´t help me, they tried it at the hospital, no effect.
I feel so sorry for your passions. I am not a doctor. But my family suffer a lot with my father's copd, high blood pressure, pnemounia, a many other health problem s that we do not understand its cause. This is why Im watching videos like this explaning such things. I am also considering trying keto diet. Why dont you think about it. Watch dr.berg channel. He has alot of useful advices and explanations. I hope you are getting better. And never give up hope.
@@kubendrenramachandran1307 Worse and worse. I have to lose some weight, then they will add me on the waiting list for new heart and new lungs. It´s my last option. I have about 2 years to live.
@@tezlagamer2209 I can´t get transplantation, because I am obese. And I can´t lose weight because I can´t do any physical activity and I eat very little.
Thank you Dr. Sanjay you are a brilliant and knowledgeable physician I appreciate you caring enough to educate us this helps me to better understand what my doctors are saying and it equips me to better ask questions to help get a more accurate diagnosis
Hi! My daughter is also suffering from IPHT . Did you find any kind of new treatment for fix it . We found a Ayurvedic tonic name arjunarist liquid. And it’s really helping. Could you please share your experience?
Your videos are very helpful. Can you talk about abnormal heartbeats caused by hormonal changes? I've noticed mine comes right before my period and every once in awhile they make me dizzy.
Doctor quick question and please give me some advice. I’m 28 and healthy. No medical problems at this point in life. About a month ago I saw a chiropractor for carpel tunnel that I have been dealing with for years. So after my first real adjustment. I did not like the feeling I had after being adjusted. And literally the next day I started having heart palpitations. Possibly ectopics. I can feel them in my neck. And they are happening quit often. Do you think it’s possibly related to the adjustment I was given? I have Never felt one in my life before seeing the chiropractor.
This video was great, thank you very much, but I have a question for you, Royal Free Hospital in London diagnosed me with a Pulmonary Artery dilated to be 59MM and Pulmonary trunk dilated too, now I'm waiting for Cardiology Surgery as they told me 2 days ago that Indeed a surgery, but no one could tell me why that happened. I appreciate if you can explain. Thank you.
What supplement herb can I take to increase my blood flow with these conditions that I have the interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, and congestive heart failure without taking a drug? There’s gotta be some thing😭😩🙏
You just answered my questions i finally got a pulmonary dr but i got flu a few weeks ago back an it darn near killed me i think its affected my heart in some way im not the same person i was 100% before not now im about 30 to 40 % normal .adls have become hard to do . All i do know is i was told no heart issues prior to this ,i had copd , and asthma . But my lungs sound great and feel ok i also had hypertension for 26 yrs , it stayd controlled well til 16 monthes ago then jumped to stage 2 hypertension quite rapidly. My parents both had heart disease and diabetes type 2. Ive had bad circulation since i was teenager. Diagnosis of that at 18. So idk i hope to be able to do more , try to get better .
PTE surgery saved my life. I went into the hospital with a severely enlarged right heart and left, after 2 weeks, with it being normal. Thanks to Dr. Madani at UCSD hospital in San Diego.
Will nattokinase or SEREPEPTASE heal lung scars..or lung fibrosis??? Hawthorn berry is a heart herb. Said to heal palpitations..heart failure..can u do a video on if these is good and can u do a video on asmah nebulizer meds..why do they make the heart race..are they harmful long term. ?
My 19-yr old son was at the pediatrician’s last month and had elevated BP. Since then it has remained high. He is otherwise healthy. We are now in the process of going thru an echo and renal ultrasound. 🤞🏽 His dad had a heart attack last year at age 55 and since then I have been following your videos to make sense of this bewildering new world. Thank you for your service! If you’re in Miami, would love to meet up with you.🙂
Thank you. My mother in law was just diagnosed with this, I do believe with a TEE test. How accurate is this test compared to an echo? Because for some reason this was the last test. Love watching and getting educated.
I've been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension last year back in my country. Mild MR and severe TR. He started me on Bisoprolol but my breathing got worse so I stopped taking it. I was told I would need further investigation when I get back to U.K. Not on any treatment currently. I feel really weak all the time. My GP has referred me to local cardiologist. Can you tell me what is the prognosis for me please Dr. Gupta?
@@UncleDeadly1031 I didn't see your comment til now. I had several tests since. My cardiologist doesn't think I need any treatment for valves regurgitation at the moment. From VQ test, found to have chronic PE. Started on anticoagulant 20mg for the first week and 10 mg from the second week for six months. Also found additional airway disease. Recently had CT and awaiting for the result. Currently under respiratory team as well. Thank you very much for asking. So kind of you.
Hi Dr. I have borderline hypertension, I was on beta blockers but they made me feel terrible so I came off them and determined to lose weight instead. i was 130 kg and now I'm 110, and my target is 90. This video interested me because I have a general feeling of tension and fullness of the head, but when I take viagra those symptoms disappear my BP normalizes and I feel great. should I be worried?
Hello Dr. Gupta I need help. I am having PH like progressive symptoms since 5 months now but no doctors could detect PH. All other tests were normal. I am requesting an RHC but they won't do it...they have been giving me anxiety medications for 6 months and telling me to get admitted to mental hospital. But they don't realise I may have PH. What should I do?
So what happens if they valve has no regurgitation. Is there a way to induce it? And what does someone do if they arent at an advanced enough stage yet to warrant an angiography. Also how do you treat COPD pulmonary hypertension?

I had nervous breakdown during visit to pulmonary doctor in January 2018 (I have also asthma), I just couldn´t take it anymore physically and psychologically.
No doctor cared to find out why I couldn´t breathe, why I was able to walk max.3 steps and then stop.
In April 2018 it was so bad I went to hospital. Doctor touched my horribly swollen legs with two fingers and said, that they aren´t swollen. They sent me to CT. Nothing.
After like three hours there they sent me to cardiologist, I had to carry my heavy packages I had prepared for hospitalization, and this doctor did echocardiogram and suddenly found, that I have very severe pulmonary hypertension and ordered me to immediately sit down, because “you can´t walk around in such state”.
After two days they sent me to centre for pulmonary hypertension and PH specialist did right heart catheterisation and confirmed, that I have Pulmonary arterial idiopathic hypertension, in the worst phase and said, that it was developing in me for 2 years already! And that without immediate medications I would be dead within few months!
But according to those 6 doctors I was perfectly OK and I couldn´t breathe due to my depression and anxiety, while whole time I was dying. And that doctor, according to whom I didn´t have swollen legs? I lost 11 kilograms in two weeks in the hospital. All of it stored water. Lazy doctors. Lazy cardiologist last July. Lazy pulmonologist. If only that cardiologist last July really did her work, I would be diagnosed in so much better state and now I don´t know, if I will be alive in 5 years. Without diagnosis and medications I would be dead by now already.
Per the last study among patients with Pulmonary arterial hypertension, we are usually diagnosed within 4 years since first symptoms. I didn´t have 4 years. I would be dead within 3/4 year since first symptoms.
After doctor told me diagnosis, I had nervous breakdown and developed PTSD.
I used to go to theatre, cinema, library, fitness - nothing of that is possible now. I used to ride on bicycle around my town - impossible now.
I barely walk. Since spring 2019 I walk with cane, but I am able to walk only few meters till I have to stop and rest.
I have arythmia, palpitations, sometimes syncopes from coughing. I am on full disability.
My skin is horribly dry, my hands and arms itch.
I live in the chair in the living room with laptop - youtube, TV shows, pinterest.
I can´t read much anymore, I can´t focus on longer texts.
Since my dad died, I can´t read fanfiction.
I had to leave my job, where I was best in my team.
I was diagnosed late, very late. My PH specialist said directly, that without immediately getting on meds, I would die in two months. Meds are maybe keeping me alive, but I don´t feel better. My health state is getting worse and worse.
I loved my independency. Now I have nothing. Only depression, anxiety and PTSD, huge problems with memory and concentration and I can´t even go on massage, so my back will hurt from no movement till I finally die.
I was on Veletri for 8 months. It was horror. I was getting worse. So they took me off Veletri, put me on Revatio - Sildenafil with beautiful side effects of the worst anxiety attacks I have never experienced in my whole life and with huge problems with sleeping. After two months they put me yet on Uptravi - amazing side effects of days lasting diarrhea. Thanks to Sildenafil I didn´t sleep properly for 3/4 of year, now I am on Trittico and Rivotril for sleeping and trying Cipralex to help with depressions and Xanax. Plus I am on Volibris. I don´t feel better.
Since this year 2020, prices of basic food in Czech republic went rocket high, vegetables, fruit, meat, even potatoes. Some food is even 100 % higher.
I get to my bed on 1st floor step after step with horrible arythmia and hoping, that I won´t faint on stairs. I go upstairs only once a day for sleep. The rest of day I spent in the living room, only going to toilet and kitchen. I take 250 mg of diuretics every day. Omeprazol for heart burn. B-complex. Contraception. And I have heart burn from drinking water, so I can´t drink it. I have also allergy on most of fruits. I am exhausted 24/7. Everything physical is unbelievable exhausting. Also, oxygen doesn´t help me, they tried it at the hospital, no effect.
I feel so sorry for your passions. I am not a doctor. But my family suffer a lot with my father's copd, high blood pressure, pnemounia, a many other health problem s that we do not understand its cause.
This is why Im watching videos like this explaning such things.
I am also considering trying keto diet. Why dont you think about it. Watch dr.berg channel. He has alot of useful advices and explanations.
I hope you are getting better. And never give up hope.
How are u doing now ?
@@kubendrenramachandran1307 Worse and worse. I have to lose some weight, then they will add me on the waiting list for new heart and new lungs. It´s my last option. I have about 2 years to live.
How are you doing? Have you gotten your transplant of your lungs and heart?
@@tezlagamer2209 I can´t get transplantation, because I am obese. And I can´t lose weight because I can´t do any physical activity and I eat very little.

Doctor quick question and please give me some advice. I’m 28 and healthy. No medical problems at this point in life. About a month ago I saw a chiropractor for carpel tunnel that I have been dealing with for years. So after my first real adjustment. I did not like the feeling I had after being adjusted. And literally the next day I started having heart palpitations. Possibly ectopics. I can feel them in my neck. And they are happening quit often. Do you think it’s possibly related to the adjustment I was given? I have Never felt one in my life before seeing the chiropractor.
Thank you. I really appreciate your thoroughness. 👍♥️

My 19-yr old son was at the pediatrician’s last month and had elevated BP. Since then it has remained high. He is otherwise healthy. We are now in the process of going thru an echo and renal ultrasound. 🤞🏽
His dad had a heart attack last year at age 55 and since then I have been following your videos to make sense of this bewildering new world. Thank you for your service! If you’re in Miami, would love to meet up with you.🙂
Cucumber and Apple daily in the morning helps to reduce BP. Try to release stress ... Sport, massage
Thank You !,,, Great Info !,,,,,
Thank you. My mother in law was just diagnosed with this, I do believe with a TEE test. How accurate is this test compared to an echo? Because for some reason this was the last test. Love watching and getting educated.

I've been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension last year back in my country. Mild MR and severe TR. He started me on Bisoprolol but my breathing got worse so I stopped taking it. I was told I would need further investigation when I get back to U.K. Not on any treatment currently. I feel really weak all the time. My GP has referred me to local cardiologist. Can you tell me what is the prognosis for me please Dr. Gupta?
How are you now?
@@UncleDeadly1031 I didn't see your comment til now. I had several tests since. My cardiologist doesn't think I need any treatment for valves regurgitation at the moment. From VQ test, found to have chronic PE. Started on anticoagulant 20mg for the first week and 10 mg from the second week for six months. Also found additional airway disease. Recently had CT and awaiting for the result. Currently under respiratory team as well. Thank you very much for asking. So kind of you.

Hi Dr. I have borderline hypertension, I was on beta blockers but they made me feel terrible so I came off them and determined to lose weight instead. i was 130 kg and now I'm 110, and my target is 90. This video interested me because I have a general feeling of tension and fullness of the head, but when I take viagra those symptoms disappear my BP normalizes and I feel great. should I be worried?
You are going great

Hello Dr. Gupta I need help. I am having PH like progressive symptoms since 5 months now but no doctors could detect PH. All other tests were normal. I am requesting an RHC but they won't do it...they have been giving me anxiety medications for 6 months and telling me to get admitted to mental hospital. But they don't realise I may have PH. What should I do?
.
Amazing, thank you:)
So what happens if they valve has no regurgitation. Is there a way to induce it? And what does someone do if they arent at an advanced enough stage yet to warrant an angiography.
Also how do you treat COPD pulmonary hypertension?
