Hi,

Yes, these symptoms can involve pulmonary hypertension. I would suggest to get investigated and exclude or diagnose the cause followed by an early treatment. It would help in early recovery. Please consult a heart specialist for direct physical examination and needful investigations followed by needful suitable treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
