What are the symptoms of primary pulmonary hypertension?
The first symptom is often fatigue or tiredness. Many patients think that they’re simply “out of shape.” Difficulty in breathing, dizziness and even fainting spells can occur. Swelling in the ankles or legs, bluish discoloration of the lips and skin, and chest pain more often occur later in the disease. One of the great difficulties in treating PPH is that the diagnosis is often delayed due to the slowly progressive and insidious onset of the symptoms.
