Sometimes people with polycystic kidney disease complain about shortness of breath. What are the best ways to treat shortness of breath in polycystic kidney?

Causes of shortness of breath

-High blood pressure

Kidney cysts keep growing with time going. It narrows the blood vessels and reduces blood flow. In order to increase blood flow volume, your body will increase pressure. Because high blood pressure causes the heart muscle to thicken, there is less space for oxygen-rich blood to flow from the lungs into the chamber that pumps it to the rest of the body. This can cause blood back up into the lungs, causing shortness of breath.

-Anemia

Kidney cysts can damage the kidney and affect kidney function. One of the kidney function is to release erythropoietin to stimulate the bone marrows to form red blood cells. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen. When there are not enough red blood cells, your body is lack of oxygen and you are easy to have shortness of breath.

Treatment for shortness of breath

First, you should bring your blood pressure under control. Western medicine such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and calcium channel blockers can all lower blood pressure quickly.
