I'm looking at my 2D echo report and I'm a bit worried about my heart health. It says my mean PAP is 23.18 and PASP is 38mm Hg. There's also something about a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6, and it's noted as mild tricuspid regurgitation. The report mentions my ejection fraction is 60 and that I have good systolic function, with no diastolic dysfunction. I'm just wondering if there's a risk of pulmonary hypertension with these numbers?

Based on your 2D echo report, with a mean PAP of 23.18 and PASP of 38mm Hg, along with a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6 and mild tricuspid regurgitation, it indicates that there is a possibility of pulmonary hypertension. However, further evaluation and monitoring by a healthcare professional are recommended to determine the severity and appropriate treatment.

I'm a bit worried because my blood pressure is at 14289. I'm not really keen on starting medication right away if I can help it. Do you think changing my lifestyle could bring it down, or should I seriously consider taking medication? Any advice would be great.

For a blood pressure reading of 14289, it is slightly elevated and falls within the prehypertension range. Lifestyle changes can definitely help in lowering your blood pressure. You can start by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, reducing sodium intake, eating a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing stress. However, if lifestyle changes alone are not enough to lower your blood pressure, medication may be necessary. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment plan for your specific situation.

I'm having this weird feeling of short breath and some dizziness, especially when I try to sleep. It's been happening just recently, and it's getting kinda uncomfortable. I had a full body check-up not too long ago, including heart tests like an ECG, echo, diabetes check, and a TMT, and they were all normal. My weights around 110 kg, and my blood pressure is 14090. I'm really puzzled about what could be causing this mild shortness of breath. Any ideas?
