Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Treatment

Patients that have been diagnosed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) usually experience shortness of breath upon exertion and energy loss, and some people also feel light-headed or fatigued. Generic Viagra is a medicine known as a PDE-5 inhibitor, successfully used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, it can also be used to treat PAH. This medication contains the active ingredient sildenafil citrate. The cells lining the blood vessels of the lungs have certain chemicals that help control how narrow or wide the vessels can be. Sildenafil works by increasing one of these chemicals that helps the blood vessels relax. Blood and oxygen can therefore flow more freely.Before anyone can start considering to buy Viagra as a therapy for PAH, they must check whether they have or have had medical conditions such as heart problems like heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeat, or chest pain, high or low blood pressure or blood circulation problems, an eye problem called retinitis pigmentosa, serious liver or kidney disease, any disease or problem that affects the shape of the penis, any blood problems such as sickle cell anemia or cancer of blood cells or bone marrow or a stomach ulcer or bleeding problem.

Generic Viagra may have a few, mild side effects, for instance nosebleeds, upset stomach, trouble sleeping, headache and flushing. Other more serious side effects may include sudden vision loss; ear ringing, or sudden loss of hearing; chest pain or heavyness, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, malaise; irregular heartbeat; hands, ankles, or feet swelling, shortness of breath; vision changes, light-headedness, fainting or an erection that is painful or lasts 4 hours or longer. Cheap Viagra should not be taken concurrently with nitrate drugs for chest pain or heart problems. These drugs include nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate and isosorbide mononitrate, among others.
