Pulmonary hypertension can be very painful in late stages. Pulmonary hypertension can cause many complications, especially symptoms caused by right heart failure, including edema of both lower limbs, loss of appetite caused by gastrointestinal congestion, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension. There are also large amounts of ascites, hepatomegaly, and some patients can also show pleural effusion causing significant breathing difficulties. These symptoms can increase the patient's pain and significantly reduce the patient's quality of life. Therefore, patients with pulmonary hypertension should take measures to intervene as soon as possible, so as to maintain the relative normal heart function, reduce complications and alleviate the pain of patients.
