Abstract
This case study delves into the diagnostic challenges and comprehensive management of a 28-year-old previously healthy young adult who presented with exertional dyspnea, recurrent syncope, chest pain, generalized fatigue, and a history of tuberculosis (TB). After extensive evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Artery Hypertension (IPAH), compounded by TB sequelae. This rare and life-altering dual diagnosis underscores the importance of early recognition, complex treatment strategies, and improvements in quality of life, genetic considerations, and a multidisciplinary approach to managing IPAH in young adults with TB sequelae. The case also highlights the resilience of individuals facing significant health challenges and emphasizes the need for ongoing research and awareness to improve the care and outcomes of individuals with these serious conditions.
