Can breathing disorders lead to the development of pulmonary hypertension?

As it is found in some researches that deviated septum can cause disordered breathing during sleep.

Hello and welcome to the forum.  Yes, lung disease can be related to pulmonary hypertension.  Here's an overview of this disorder:  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-hypertension/symptoms-causes/syc-20350697  There are 5 groups of causes and lung disease (copd, emphysema, etc.) are in group B.  Sleep apnea is also in group B. There's also a long list of risk factors . Talk to your doctor if you feel pulmonary hypertension is something that may be going on.  Let us know what they say.

No, I just have a deviated septum which is causing difficulty in breathing. Everything is fine with my heart till now. But, I just wanted to know if this can lead to pulmonary hypertension if I waited some months for my nasal surgery due to this covid situation.
