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.

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having lately. For the past week, I've had this pain in my left arm, shoulder, and back, along with trouble breathing. It just keeps coming and going. I've always had lower blood pressure, and now I'm also experiencing chest pain on my left side. Plus, if I try to take a deep breath, my whole back hurts. Could this be something serious?

I've been sleeping okay at night, but for the past four days, I've been waking up around 5 am with my heart racing. It's really weird and a bit scary. On top of that, I've been dealing with GERD for the last three weeks and taking Pantocid for it. What's going on with my heart? Should I be worried?
