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 a bit worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Diabetes and Hypertension for about 12 years now, and shes been taking medications to keep them in check. Since last November, she started on Ecosprin AV 7520 daily. I'm kind of concerned about if there are any side effects from taking it every day and whether its necessary to have Aspirin free intervals?

No need to stop medications , all the medications are to be continued including ecosprin.

I'm having these frequent chest pains, and it's really stressing me out and leading to panic attacks. I went ahead and got a CT coronary angiography done, and the report came back saying my arteries are normal. Can I relax now and assume there aren't any heart-related issues, or is there something else I should be considering?

Hi, since your CT coronary angiography shows normal arteries, it is generally safe to assume that there are no significant heart-related issues causing your chest pain. However, it is always important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss any other possible causes for your symptoms.
