I just got my ECG results back from a health check-up, and it's showing a Left Axis Deviation. I've never had any BP problems, and my blood pressure during the exam was 13080. What could be causing the Left Axis Deviation? Should I be worried about it?

I'm a 44-year-old guy and I've been feeling really tired lately. I'm also having a tough time dealing with the cold. Could this be because my cholesterol levels are high? I'm 5 feet 10 inches tall and weigh around 90 kg. How do I figure out if my cholesterol is actually high?

I'm really confused about my ECG results. I used to have a left axis deviation at 30, but today my ECG showed an extreme axis deviation. I repeated the test, and it went back to showing a left axis at 30 again. Is it possible that there's a problem with the machine, or should I be worried about my heart health? I'm attaching the echocardiogram, so please let me know what you think.

I'm experiencing breathlessness when I exert myself and my heart rate seems really high. The recent echo shows mild TR, mild PAHRVSP at 45 mmHg, and a mild MR jet area of 2.5 sqcm, with tachycardia at 121 bpm. My hemoglobin and thyroid levels are normal, but I'm a bit concerned about the mild PAH. Should I be worried about this and check in with a doctor?

Yes, mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) should be followed up by a doctor, especially since you are experiencing breathlessness on exertion and have a high heart rate. Treatment for PAH may include medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the blood pressure in the lungs. It is important to monitor and manage PAH to prevent further complications.
