Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 30 years old, suffering from pulmonary thromboembolism, and have been treating this for the past three years but with no improvement. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query. I understand your concern. Unfortunately, you have chronic thromboembolism and resultant pulmonary hypertension. It is called CTEPH. CTEPH (chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension) is a type of pulmonary hypertension caused by the formation of clots in the pulmonary arteries. The management of CTEPH typically involves a multi-disciplinary approach, including medical therapy, endovascular techniques, and surgical intervention. The appropriate management strategy for an individual with CTEPH depends on several factors, including the severity of the disease, the presence of comorbidities, and the patient's preferences. Generally, the length of treatment can vary from a few months to several years, and continuous monitoring and management are necessary to ensure the best possible outcome. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
