Orthopnea vs. Pulmonary hypertension

Orthopnea or orthopnoea is shortness of breath (dyspnea) that occurs when lying flat, causing the person to have to sleep propped up in bed or sitting in a chair. Pulmonary hypertension (PH or PHTN) is a condition of increased blood pressure within the arteries of the lungs.
