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 dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d ,orally for 14 days and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 7 days .

I'm feeling really anxious because I've been having some breathlessness and gastric issues. I had an ECG done and it showed sinus tachycardia along with a small inferior wave. The report mentioned something about a borderline ECG and that an infarct can't be excluded. The doctor said the ECG's normal and there's nothing to worry about if the acidity improves. But I'm still a bit concerned. Should I be worried about the sinus tachycardia or the possibility of an infarct? Are there any other tests I should consider?
"Based on your ECG report showing sinus tachycardia with a small inferior wave, along with concerns about borderline ECG and the possibility of infarct not being excluded, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. Sinus tachycardia is often a normal response to various factors such as stress, anxiety, or caffeine intake. However, in some cases, it can be related to underlying heart conditions. To assess the situation further, I recommend additional tests such as a cardiac enzyme test to rule out any potential heart damage, a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under exertion, and possibly a coronary angiography to assess the blood flow to your heart. These tests will provide more information about your heart health and help determine if any further treatment or monitoring is necessary. In the meantime, managing your gastric symptoms and acidity is important. You can take medications like omeprazole for acidity relief. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding spicy foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down after eating can help alleviate gastric issues. It's essential to follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and to discuss the results of these additional tests."
