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.

View allI've been noticing this tingling sensation on the left side below my chest and sometimes at my back. It's not constant but usually happens when I'm lying down and occasionally when I'm sitting. I checked my blood pressure, which was 12381, and when I'm relaxed my pulse rate is around 60, but sometimes it drops to 55. Do you think this is something to be concerned about?
Tingling sensation on the left side below the chest and at the back could be due to nerve compression or irritation. Since your blood pressure and pulse rate are within normal limits, it is less likely to be related to a cardiovascular issue. However, it is important to rule out any musculoskeletal or neurological causes. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the tingling sensation. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen 400mg to reduce any inflammation that may be affecting the nerves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management."

I'm a bit confused about my blood pressure medication. My doctor measured my blood pressure at 149 over 90, using a digital BP machine, and prescribed me TelmaH. But that day, I'd walked to the clinic without resting, so maybe that's why my reading was so high. I've been on the meds for 15 days, but in the last 2 days, my blood pressure has been normal even without taking the medication. Is it safe for me to stop taking it, or should I continue the course just to be sure? What should I do?
It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding medication. In this case, since your blood pressure has been normal without taking the medication for the past 2 days, you can discuss with your doctor about possibly adjusting the dosage or frequency of Telma-H. It is also possible that your high reading at the clinic was influenced by walking without resting. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing chest pain for a few months now. My X-ray and ECG both came back normal, but the pain keeps coming and going within about 30 seconds. It switches locations, sometimes on the left side, other times on the right, and occasionally its in the upper or lower chest. I'm really worried about my heart. Could this actually be related to gas like the doctor suggested?
As you had done investigation like ecg so chest pain is not due to cardiac issue .Yes it can be because of acid reflus .Ans xray is also normal and you dont have any cough sneezing breathlessness and your age is so young so it could because of gas
