What is pulmonary hypertension, i got it from taking phen phen? -

Were you diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension by a doctor? If so, and if you are a former user of phen-fen, you can (and should) be part of a class-action lawsuit against the company that made the drug. Too many people had heart damage from that awful drug! I never heard of anyone getting pulmonary hypertension from it, but I certainly don t doubt it. PLEASE look into this -- you deserve some recompense if you indeed have permanent lung damage! Good luck!

Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. Phen Phen damages the valves of the heart, I d bet your left AV valve was damaged, so blood does not flow through it as quickly as it should, causing blood to build up in the pulmonary veins, causing your pulmonary hypertension. Since yours is caused by a structural defect in the valve, there isn t a good way to cure it without replacing the valve, as any high blood pressure medications could lower your systemic blood pressure to very low levels.
