Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, possibility of pulmonary hypertension is high. Chronic acidosis can cause pulmonary hypertension. And your symptoms are also suggestive of the same. So get done 2d echo for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension. You will need methylprednisolone (for acidosis) and tadalafil or Bosnian (for pulmonary hypertension). So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
