I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

View allI was lying down and felt some mild chest pain, so I went to the doctor. They did an ECG and echo, and everything seemed normal, but it showed something about a mild TR Pah and Tr jet at 2.8 with RVSP at 30rap. The doctor said it was fine. A year later, I had another echo, and this time it showed no TR, just PJV at 1.23 msec. I'm not really sure what that means and just want to confirm that there's no PH. The echo report says chamber size and function are normal, so should I be worried about anything?
The results of your echocardiogram show that there is no tricuspid regurgitation (TR) this time, and the pulmonary jet velocity (PJV) is 1.23 msec. This indicates that there is no significant backflow of blood through the tricuspid valve and the blood flow through the pulmonary valve is normal. The right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 30 mmHg is also within normal limits, indicating normal pressure in the right side of the heart. Overall, the echo results show normal chamber size and function of your heart. No further treatment is needed at this time based on these results.

I'm really worried about my mom's health. Her doctor said she has a 90% blockage in one of her arteries, and they're suggesting she undergoes angioplasty. Is this really the only way to treat it, or are there other options we should consider? I'm just trying to make sure we're making the best choice for her.
You go for other investigation.

I'm a bit worried about my recent health report. The doctor said I need an ECG before anesthesia, and the results mention a probable left atrial enlargement with a borderline ECG. I'm wondering what this means for my heart health. Should I see a cardiologist? Lately, I've been experiencing mild chest pains and numbness, and I'm a bit overweight, though my blood pressure is normal. I also have a fatty liver and occasionally notice shortness of breath. Do you think these symptoms are related?
Based on your symptoms and the findings in your ECG report, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The probable left atrial enlargement and borderline ECG findings may indicate underlying heart issues that need to be addressed. In the meantime, to help with your symptoms, you can take medications like Aspirin for chest pain (if not contraindicated) and Atorvastatin for high cholesterol. Additionally, to manage your fatty liver, you can take Ursodeoxycholic acid. For shortness of breath, you can use an inhaler like Salbutamol as needed. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet to improve your overall health.
