Dr. Manish Aggarwal, Senior Pulmonologist & Chest Specialist in Pitampura, Delhi, provides specialized evaluation and management for Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), a serious condition involving increased pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs that can gradually affect heart and lung function.
Pulmonary hypertension is often underdiagnosed because symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, dizziness, and reduced exercise tolerance may initially appear mild or resemble common respiratory problems like asthma or COPD. Early diagnosis is extremely important as timely treatment can significantly improve quality of life and long-term outcomes.
The clinic has special interest and experience in diagnosing complex and rare pulmonary vascular disorders, including Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension), using comprehensive clinical assessment and advanced respiratory evaluation.
Pulmonary hypertension is often a consequence of underlying heart, lung, vascular, or systemic disorders. Identifying the root cause is essential for accurate diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment planning.
Patients with unexplained breathlessness, low oxygen levels, syncope, exercise intolerance, enlarged pulmonary arteries, or suspected right heart strain require detailed pulmonary vascular evaluation to identify the underlying cause and assess disease severity.
The clinic also focuses on newer evidence-based treatment strategies now increasingly available in India for selected patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, including targeted pulmonary vasodilator therapies aimed at improving exercise capacity, symptom control, and slowing disease progression.

Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is the continuous administration of oxygen at home for patients with chronic respiratory failure. Typically prescribed for 15 hours or more per day, it helps maintain adequate oxygen levels, reduce breathlessness, and protect vital organs from hypoxia.
No. Oxygen is not an addictive substance, and starting it does not create a physical addiction or permanent dependency. It is simply a medical therapy used to correct oxygen deficiencies. Some patients only require it temporarily during recovery from an illness, while others with progressive, chronic diseases may require it long-term to safeguard organ health.
The precise oxygen flow rate (measured in liters per minute) is determined by a chest specialist based on diagnostic tests, including arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis, pulse oximetry, and dynamic tests like the Six-Minute Walk Test.
An oxygen concentrator is an electrical device that filters nitrogen out of ambient air to deliver continuous, high-purity oxygen. An oxygen cylinder contains a fixed amount of compressed gaseous oxygen and requires regular refills, making it useful as a backup or for short-term/emergency portable use.
Using home oxygen at higher flow rates than prescribed can lead to oxygen toxicity, which causes lung tissue inflammation or, in patients with conditions like COPD, causes CO2 retention. Carbon dioxide retention can lead to severe drowsiness, confusion, and respiratory depression. Always stick strictly to your doctor's prescribed flow settings.
