Pulmonary Hypertension, an Incurable Disease Pulmonary Hypertension is an incurable disease of the heart and lungs. Without treatment, it is terminal. The only known "cure" for Pulmonary Hypertension is transplantation of the lungs, sometimes of the heart and lungs. Pulmonary Hypertension hits mostly women in their child bearing years, however, infants, children, men and the elderly have been stricken with the disease. The symptoms of Pulmonary Hypertension are so much like any other disease, that is so often misdiagnosed for years. Heart palpitations, Shortness of breath, exhaustion, passing out and blue lips are just some of the symptoms of PH. There are many drugs available at this time for the treatment of PH, however, there isn't a cure yet. That doesn't mean there isn't any hope. At diagnosis, so many times, we are told we have two to five years to live. I have been diagnosed for 11 yrs now, and am doing very well. I'm working part time and living my life like I have never before.
