High Altitudes
If you are living in mountainous areas or regions in high altitudes, the risks of developing pulmonary hypertension tend to be high. This is because the levels of oxygen in the air are gradually reduced when the altitudes go up. In general, a place located between 2400 and 2300 meters (or 8000 to 14,000 feet) above sea level is often considered a high-altitude spot. If you are a traveler, wearing an oxygen tank can help reduce the risk. Also, doing regular exercises to develop the cardiovascular system and get used to these conditions. [11]
