Is it really possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even when the pulmonary artery looks normal and there's no turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that can happen. Could there be underlying issues or does it indicate a different problem? I'm a bit concerned and just trying to understand why this might occur.
Yes, it is possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even with normal pulmonary artery anatomy and no turbulence. In such cases, the hypertension may be due to other underlying factors such as inflammation, vasoconstriction, or other vascular abnormalities. Treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension may include medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) to help relax the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.

I've been getting chest pain and started to feel it in the center below my chest, like where the stomach is, even though I've done ECG more than 20 times and everything seemed normal. I just had a TMT on May 31st, 2022, and I'm wondering how long the reports from that are actually valid. My LDL and HDL levels are normal, but my triglycerides are quite higharound 400. Could this high level of triglycerides be causing a blockage? Is this something heart-related that I should be worried about?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. Since your TMT ECG and other tests have shown normal results, it is less likely to be related to your heart. However, it is essential to consider other factors such as gastrointestinal issues or musculoskeletal pain. It would be best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. TMT ECG reports are typically valid for a few months, but it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance. High triglyceride levels, especially above 400, can increase the risk of developing blockages in the arteries over time. It is crucial to manage your triglyceride levels through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
