Pulmonary Hypertension cures? -

Hello. My mom who I love more than words can ever describe has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension. She s my best-friend. She s 55 years old. She has problems breathing, fatigue, chest pressure, and irregular heartbeat. She has to use an oxygen machine at night. My question is, are there any herbs or anything else that could possibly make it go away or pro long her life? I ve heard it s in curable and it only gets worse. But I thought maybe you might have some better answers of things that work. Any ideas of how to reduce stress? Would sipping tea work to help her? What are some steps she can do to extend her life? Thank you for reading. God bless you all. Take care. later... Sincerely, elysiac1983@yahoo.com

Most of the time incurable diseases are, just as they are called, incurable. But basically trying to keep stress level at a minimum is always best for any sickness. Also making sure there is someone who she can rely on for help whether is a reliable neighbor or someone living with her incase something goes wrong. We do live in an era where medicine and technology is developing so quickly its mind boggling. Theres always hope for a pioneering procedure that might be practiced in the near future. And Best wishes to your mom

Unfortunately, no. Pulmonary hypertension is usually the result of a lifetime of not living very healthily. The damage has already been done to the pulmonary system, and now it s simply time to manage the symptoms. If she smokes, get her to stop. If she eats a lot of fatty foods or junk food in general, get her to stop. Stop consuming caffeine. Tell her to take her medications religiously. Teas can help for stress, but stress management is really relative to each person. For her, it may be chatting with a friend, a relaxing bath, or knitting. Talk to her about it.
