Members discussed whether hoarseness and sore throats are related to pulmonary hypertension or medications, with many experiencing raspy voices, chronic coughing (often 90% of the time), and throat discomfort throughout the day and night. Several members shared remedies that have helped them manage symptoms, including Halls cough drops, Fisherman's Friend extra strong lozenges, tea, inhalers, and for those on Tyvaso DPI, thorough rinsing and using ice water or carbonated drinks to soothe the throat. A recurring theme was uncertainty about whether these symptoms stem from PH itself, related lung conditions like fibrosis or damaged esophagus, medications, or comorbid issues such as sleep apnea and CPAP use.
