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?

I've recently had this weird thing happen three times in the last couple of weeks where I suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy. Two of those times, I was driving, which was pretty scary, and another time it happened while I was just watching TV. I'm kind of worried these could be signs of heart attacks or something else serious. Could you tell me what might be going on, and what kind of doctor I should talk to about this?
Episodes of sudden sweating and dizziness can be concerning symptoms. It is important to rule out any serious issues, including heart problems. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other conditions such as low blood sugar, dehydration, or anxiety. I recommend you to consult a Cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. They may suggest tests like an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test to assess your heart health. In the meantime, make sure to stay hydrated, eat regular meals, and avoid driving if you feel dizzy to ensure your safety.

I've been having this uncomfortable pain just below my left breast, and it's only on one side. I've started working out recently. Could this just be muscle pain from exercising, or should I be worried about something else?
The pain you are experiencing below your left breast could be musculoskeletal in nature due to your workout routine. However, it is important to rule out any other potential causes such as costochondritis or even cardiac issues. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for muscle pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and avoiding strenuous exercise that exacerbates the pain may also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
