So I had my Echo test this afternoon, and it says my pulmonary arteries look normal but mentions I have mild PHT. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned?

Mild pulmonary hypertension (PHT) means that there is increased blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild PHT, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) at a dose of 20 mg three times a day. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your condition.

Question

I've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and mild mitral regurgitation. Lately, I've been hearing this strange sound or feeling a vibration from my heart every now and then. It seems to go away after a while, but it's a bit worrying. I did another echo, and it still shows mild regurgitation. Could this sound or vibration mean my mitral regurgitation is getting worse? I've also been dealing with gastric issues. I'm only 22 years old, and I'm trying to figure out if these things are related or if I should be concerned about it. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm a 27-year-old who's just gone through some heart tests like the ECHO, ECG, and Holter. The ECHO test showed something called grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and the ECG came up with sinus tachycardia. Thankfully, the Holter test was normal. Should I be worried about these results? And is there a way to get the diastolic dysfunction back to normal?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my health and would really appreciate some advice. Back in May 2017, I had an angioplasty and have been keeping up with my meds and exercises since then. Currently, I'm on cilacar for my blood pressure and crevast 7510. I used to take ecosprin 7520, but my ENT doctor suggested that it could have been causing my nasal block and sinus issues. I've had two nasal surgeries to remove polyps, and I've been on crevast for the past month. So, I'm just wondering how often I should be getting my ECG, treadmill, echo, and other tests done. I've been doing lab tests every three months and everything's come back normal. Any guidance on this would be really helpful.
