I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Whenever I get tired, I start having short breaths and feel this chest pain. I can walk for a bit if I go slowly, but after a few minutes, I start running out of breath and the chest pain comes back. Does this sound like something serious? What should I do about it?

View allI'm a bit confused about something in my recent medical results. My ECHO came back showing normal pulmonary arteries, but I've been told I might have mild PHT. How is it possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension if the echo indicates the arteries are fine? What should I make of this?
Yes, it is possible to have mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) even when the ECHO shows that the pulmonary arteries are normal. In such cases, treatment may involve medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. The dosage and duration of treatment would depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?
Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.
