My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

I'm dealing with some light pain in my chest and shoulders, and my 2D echo report showed mild MR and TR with PAH and an RVSP of 40 mmHg. Can you help me figure out what steps I should take or what this might mean for my health?
Based on your symptoms and 2D echo report showing mild MRTRPah with an Rvsp of 40mmHg, it is important to manage your condition. You can take Tablet Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with any chest pain and to prevent blood clots. Additionally, you can take Tablet Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because her entire body is getting swollen and the doctor mentioned something about heart enlargement with fluid buildup. She seems to only stay healthy and not get swollen if she consistently takes her medication and injections to remove the fluid. What's this condition called, how serious is it, and what can be done to help her live a healthier, longer life? I'd really appreciate any advice.
It sounds like your loved one is experiencing symptoms of congestive heart failure, which is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the body. To manage this condition and improve her health and longevity, she will need to take medications such as Furosemide (Lasix) to help remove excess fluid from the body. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) or Carvedilol (Coreg) may be prescribed to help the heart function better and reduce symptoms. It is important for her to follow a low-sodium diet, monitor her fluid intake, and regularly follow up with her healthcare provider for proper management of her condition.
