I'm really concerned about my wife. She saw an eye surgeon for her cataract surgery, and he suggested she get an ECG done first. After looking at the ECG results, he recommended an ECHO test. The results came back mostly normal, with no regional wall motion abnormality and normal systolic function at 65%. But it did show mild pulmonary arterial hypertension with an RVSP of 35 mmHg. I'm not sure what this means or if we should be worried. Does she need treatment for this? Could you help us understand the situation a bit better?

View allI've been having some chest pain for the last few days and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable and along with the chest pain, I get this ache in my arm joint or at the back of my neck, and it's just getting worse at times. The pain tends to last for a few hours. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. In such cases, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. Common medications prescribed for angina include: - Nitroglycerin: 0.4mg sublingual tablet, to be taken as needed for chest pain - Aspirin: 81mg to 325mg daily, to help prevent blood clots - Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol): Dosage varies, to help reduce heart rate and blood pressure - Calcium channel blockers (e.g. Amlodipine): Dosage varies, to help relax blood vessels It is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.

I'm dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm on methotrexate. Recently, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, like up to 12 times a minute, mostly in the evening, but now it's happening more often. My heart rate's been an average of 107, but right now it's at 91 bpm. I've got an appointment on Wednesday at the heart hospital to get things checked out. But I'm really curious about when this stuff would be considered an emergency. It's making me feel pretty uncomfortable. Any advice?
It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness along with the heart palpitations, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and would be considered an emergency. Since you are already scheduled for an appointment at the heart hospital on Wednesday, it is best to discuss your symptoms with the healthcare provider there. They will be able to evaluate your condition and provide appropriate guidance.
