THE SIMPLE FACTSTM...Even after the recall of the diet drug Fen-Phen, Fen-Phen may still cause certain injuries such as Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) or Primary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) or Idiopathic Primary Arterial Hypertension (IPAH). (linked to heart valve problems too)
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension or Primary Arterial Hypertension or Idiopathic Primary Arterial Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure in the lung vasculature which comprises the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein or pulmonary capillaries.
It is a rare lung disorder in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels for no apparent reason. PPH or PAH can be one of five different types:
- arterial;
- venous;
- hypoxic;
- thromboembolic; or
- miscellaneous.
Symptoms may develop very gradually and may take on the following forms:
- shortness of breath;
- fatigue;
- cough;
- angina pectoris;
- fainting; or
- syncope.

Quite frankly, the simple factsTM about the diet drug Fen-phen and the possible injuries - PPH, PAH or IPAH - that may be caused by using the diet drug Fen-phen are unacceptable.
