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 experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

I've been having a bunch of symptoms lately that are starting to worry me. I feel like I'm always out of breath, and sometimes I get really dizzy out of nowhere. Fatigue has been a constant partner, and I've even fainted a couple of times, which is super scary. My head feels heavy, and I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep. On top of all that, I can't shake these negative thoughts and just feel so lazy all the time. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about, and what could be causing it?

I have rheumatic heart disease with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation and my LV is 58 - can this be managed with medications or do I need surgery
With rheumatic heart disease, moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, and an LV ejection fraction of 58%, the decision to manage with medication or surgery depends on the specific symptoms and the severity of the regurgitation and LV dysfunction. While medications can help manage symptoms and prevent complications, severe cases often require surgical intervention to repair or replace the mitral valve. Your doctor will consider your individual circumstances, including the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your symptoms, to determine the best course of treatment
