Which is NOT recommended in the treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)?

  1. Routine immunizations

  2. SSRI use during pregnancy

  3. Sodium-restricted diet

  4. Avoiding NSAIDS

The correct answer is: SSRI use during pregnancy

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. Routine immunizations and a sodium-restricted diet are recommended in the treatment of PAH to manage symptoms and potentially slow the progression of the disease. Avoiding NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) is also recommended as these medications can increase blood pressure and worsen symptoms. However, the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy is associated with potential risks to the developing fetus and is not recommended in the treatment of PAH.
