I'm experiencing this strange chest pain or maybe a strain when I turn my neck or just walk around. I'm not really sure if it's something to do with nerves or maybe just gas. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'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

I'm wondering if an ECG can actually catch all heart-related problems. I just had an ECG done and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Is it still possible that I could have some kind of heart issue even if the ECG didn't show anything?
A normal ECG result does not completely rule out all heart problems. While an ECG is a valuable tool in detecting certain heart conditions, it may not always detect all types of heart problems. It is possible to have heart issues that are not evident on an ECG. If you have concerns about your heart health, it is important to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.
Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.
