Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare disease which usually presents with shortness of breath. We report a case of a female patient who presented with dyspnoea. We diagnosed her as a case of PPH on the basis of detailed history, careful physical examination and common investigations like electrocardiogram (ECG), chest radiography and Doppler echocardiograhy.
