I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest right below the breast. It's a bit worrying because it gets slightly worse when I take a deep breath, and now I can't even sleep on my left side because it hurts too much. Could you let me know what's going on or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

I'm a bit worried after seeing my ECG report that mentions Severe TR PAH. Can you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned about what it might mean for my health and if there's a way to treat or cure this. I've got the detailed report here if that helps.
Severe TR (tricuspid regurgitation) and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension) are significant findings. Tricuspid regurgitation means that the tricuspid valve in the heart is not closing properly, causing blood to flow backward into the right atrium. Pulmonary arterial hypertension indicates high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs. These conditions can lead to symptoms like fatigue, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and shortness of breath. The management of these conditions typically involves medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, vasodilators to lower pulmonary artery pressure, and possibly anticoagulants if there is a risk of blood clots. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to repair or replace the tricuspid valve. It's crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan

My dad's been dealing with really high blood pressure, it's at 190100, and it's been like this for a week now. It's pretty concerning because he's also been managing diabetes for like 10 years, high blood pressure issues for 5 years, and kidney problems for 3 years. Even though he's on medication, his blood pressure isn't budging. What should we do in this situation? Could there be something else to try or look into?
