Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare and progressive condition that affects the blood vessels in the lungs, leading to increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. While conventional treatments focus on lowering pressure and improving oxygenation, many individuals seek natural remedies to complement medical care and improve daily quality of life.
What is PAH?
PAH occurs when the small arteries in the lungs become narrowed or blocked, causing the heart to work harder to pump blood. Over time, this can lead to right heart failure. Symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
- Dizziness or fainting
- Swelling in the legs and ankles
Can Natural Remedies Help PAH?
