Can pulmonary hypertension be reversed?

I have had symptoms for over ten years - swollen ankles, pains in my thighs and legs, joint pain, severe chest pains right above the breast area, pain in my arms. And when I go for walks not only do I get out of breath quickly i begin to experience pain on the top of my shoulder and it radiates to my kneck. We have always been a one income family and never have health insurance. At one point we were really struggling financially and qualified for medicaid. I was then able to get an ekg, a stress test (I drank a solution and then went on a tread mill)and a check-up. All my tests came back "normal". Unbelievable. I know that I have suffered for over ten years. I have three beautiful children and a wonderful husband who takes great care of us. I am at the start of a change of diet and an exercise program. I know I've got to loose weight. The only news the doctors gave me was that I have high blood pressure and prescribed high blood pressure meds which don't lower my blood pressure. I wonder if it is pulmonary hypertension? I do have the swollen ankles and am thick around my middle. I also have a wheezing sound when I laugh. Any advice that I can follow at home?
