Abstract
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is a rare disease occurring in 1-2 per million population. It is 2-4 times more common in female. Idiopathic or primary pulmonary hypertension is defined as a disorder with no identifiable cause in which resting mean pulmonary artery pressure in adults is above 25 mmHg and 30 mmHg with exercise. Idiopathic or primary pulmonary hypertension is diagnosed after ruling out all the possible secondary causes of pulmonary hypertension. We are presenting a case of middle-aged male who presented with dyspnoea and on further evaluation found to have primary pulmonary hypertension, which is uncommon in male
