Hello and welcome to the forum.
I'm not sure if the symbicort will directly raise your PA pressures. However, anything that causes high blood pressure will have the potential to raise PA pressures a bit (this is because the elevated pressures on the left side can be transmitted back to the lungs). Bottom line, I agree with your doc to treat your high blood pressure. It doesnt necessarily need to be treated to a LOW number but 180 is certainly way too high----would aim to get in under 140 systolic.
Best,
Dr. Rich
