Bronchitis and PH

Question:

This is the first time that I have had bronchitis. I also have mild PH. Is bronchitis related to my PH and does it mean that my PH is getting worse?

Answer:

Bronchitis is the infection or inflammation of the wind pipes. It is not related to the PH and does not mean that the PH is getting worse.
