Overview

Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary Hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.

Migraine

Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized by recurring headaches that are often moderate to severe in intensity. The pain is commonly throbbing and may affect one side of the head, although both sides can be involved. Migraine attacks may last from a few hours to several days and can significantly interfere with daily activities. Many individuals experience associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light (photophobia), sensitivity to sound (phonophobia), and dizziness. Some patients experience an aura before the headache phase, which may include visual disturbances, flashing lights, blind spots, or tingling sensations.

Diagnosis

Pulmonary Hypertension

Echocardiography, imaging and cardiac testing help diagnosis.

Migraine

Diagnosis is based primarily on medical history and symptom patterns. Doctors may perform neurological examinations and order MRI or CT scans if symptoms are unusual or if another neurological condition needs to be ruled out. Keeping a migraine diary can help identify triggers and treatment effectiveness.

Prevention

Pulmonary Hypertension

Avoiding smoking and managing underlying conditions may help prevention.
