Suggest Treatment For High BP, Shortness Of Breath And Fatigue

I am 67 years old. ASD was diagnosed approximately 2 months ago and I had ASD closure 1 month ago. Before the procedure, I had low energy and felt tired in my muscles when going for a walk, etc. Now, since the procedure, my blood pressure has been running high and I now have experiences of shortness of breath and extreme fatigue when engaged in physical activity. I wonder if I had pulmonary hypertension which is becoming more apparent now. Do you have any thoughts on this?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is pulmonary hypertension you are thinking about then it can only be detected with the help of EHCO study and complete clinical examination, although chances of this is very minimal, it is advisable for you to have complete bed rest, and discus this with cardiologist, hope this information helps, take care.
