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'm dealing with this ongoing issue of shortness of breath that just started up recently. It started after I began taking these medicines called Muktavati and Medhavati extra power from Patanjali for my high blood pressure. I was taking one tablet of Muktavati in the morning and one Medhavati at night for about 18 days, stopping on May 21st, 2022. Ever since I stopped, the breathing thing has been happening. What do you think could be going on here? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I'm a bit concerned about my ECG report since it mentions "low voltage." Should I be worried about this? Can you explain what it means and if there's anything I need to do or watch out for?
ECG report showing low voltage can be concerning and may indicate various underlying issues. It is important to further evaluate the cause of low voltage. Your doctor may recommend a thorough physical examination, additional tests such as blood tests, echocardiogram, or stress test. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In some cases, medications like Furosemide or Spironolactone may be prescribed to help improve heart function. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for proper management

My brother has diabetes and had a heart check-up in January. His TMT echo and ECG came back negative, and his LVEF is 67. He's been experiencing mild shortness of breath for the past couple of months. Could this be related to any heart issues?
Shortness of breath can have various causes, including heart problems. Given his history of diabetes and recent heart check-up with normal results, the shortness of breath may not be directly related to his heart. It could be due to other factors such as respiratory issues, anemia, or even anxiety. However, considering his medical history, it's important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any potential cardiac issues. In the meantime, he can take a low dose of diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) under medical supervision to help with the shortness of breath.
