While coughing isn't always listed as a primary symptom of PAH, it can occur for several reasons. In some cases, it may be related to your PAH medications or due to pressure from enlarged pulmonary arteries.

If you're experiencing persistent throat clearing or coughing, it's important to discuss this with your doctor, especially if:
- It's a new symptom
- It's getting worse
- It interferes with sleeping or daily activities
- It's accompanied by other symptoms like trouble breathing Important note: Don't take over-the-counter cough medicines or decongestants without consulting your doctor first. Some of these medications can interact with PAH treatments and worsen your symptoms.

Keep a symptom diary noting when the throat clearing occurs and any medications you're taking. This information will help your healthcare team determine the cause and find the most appropriate treatment for your situation.
