Several medications can help with shortness of breath in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH):

- Treprostinil: Improves exercise ability and shortness of breath caused by physical activity.
- Epoprostenol (Flolan, Veletri): Shown to improve shortness of breath and fatigue.
- Sotatercept (Winrevair): Helps regulate blood vessel wall growth, preventing PAH from worsening and improving exercise ability.

Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best treatment for your specific condition.
