It sounds like you're asking whether others with PAH have needed to adjust their Uptravi dosage over time, especially when experiencing fatigue and shortness of breath. Those symptoms are definitely worth taking seriously and discussing with your doctor soon.
Some myPHteam members have shared similar experiences where a single medication wasn't enough over time. One member noted that their medication alone didn't really work, so their doctor added another, and then a third β which is when they really started to improve. Fatigue and shortness of breath can be signs that your current treatment may need adjusting. Here are a few things worth discussing with your PAH specialist:
- Dosage review β whether your current Uptravi dose still suits your needs
- Combination therapy β adding another medication that targets a different pathway
- Supportive therapies β such as supplemental oxygen or diuretics to help with comfort
- Symptom tracking β keeping a journal of when exhaustion and breathlessness occur can help your doctor make better decisions
It's also a good idea to keep your follow-up appointments on schedule, as regular check-ins help your care team monitor how your treatment is working and adjust as needed.
