If youâre aged 16 to 64 you could get between Â£22 and Â£141.10 a week by claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP). The amount you get depends on how your condition affects you, not the condition itself. Youâll be assessed by a health professional to work out the level of help you can get.
The signs and symptoms of pulmonary hypertension in its early stages might not be noticeable for months or even years. As the disease progresses, symptoms become worse. Pulmonary hypertension symptoms include: Shortness of breath (dyspnea), initially while exercising and eventually while at rest; Fatigue; Dizziness or fainting spells (syncope)
Although there are a number of TB types, pulmonary TB is responsible for the majority (about 85%) of TB infections. Consequently, pulmonary TB symptoms and signs may occur with or even before other types of TB are diagnosed. The classical clinical symptoms and signs of pulmonary TB include fever, night sweats, cough, hemoptysis (coughing up blood-stained sputum), weight loss, fatigue, and chest pain. The elderly may just exhibit pneumonitis.
