Treatment for pulmonary hypertension depends on the underlying cause and severity. Common options include:
- Vasodilators (e.g., prostacyclins, endothelin receptor antagonists, PDE-5 inhibitors) to relax blood vessels
- Diuretics to reduce fluid buildup
- Anticoagulants if there's a risk of blood clots
- Oxygen therapy for low oxygen levels
- Lifestyle changes: Low-sodium diet, avoiding high altitudes, and regular light exercise
