I'm a bit worried after seeing my ECG report that mentions Severe TR PAH. Can you help me understand what this means? I'm really concerned about what it might mean for my health and if there's a way to treat or cure this. I've got the detailed report here if that helps.

Severe TR (tricuspid regurgitation) and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension) are significant findings. Tricuspid regurgitation means that the tricuspid valve in the heart is not closing properly, causing blood to flow backward into the right atrium. Pulmonary arterial hypertension indicates high blood pressure in the arteries that supply the lungs.
These conditions can lead to symptoms like fatigue, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and shortness of breath. The management of these conditions typically involves medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, vasodilators to lower pulmonary artery pressure, and possibly anticoagulants if there is a risk of blood clots. In some cases, surgical intervention may be required to repair or replace the tricuspid valve.
It's crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan

View allI recently started feeling some pain on the left side of my chest and it made me really anxious, so I went to the hospital. The doctor had me do an ECG and a 2D Echo. According to the reports, the doctor said my heart is normal. Can you please take a look at my reports and provide your thoughts on them? I'm still a bit worried and could use some advice.
"Sir, based on the ECG and 2D Echo reports that you have provided, which indicate that your heart is normal, it is good news that there are no abnormalities detected in your heart. The pain in the left side of your chest could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or anxiety. To alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises may help with the panic and anxiety symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Take care."

I'm trying to figure out the difference between Telma and Covamlo. Is Covamlo just Telma with something else added, or is it a completely different medication? I'm a bit confused about whether they contain the same things. Can you help clarify this for me?
Telma and Covamlo are both medications used to treat hypertension, but they contain different active ingredients. Telma contains the active ingredient Telmisartan, while Covamlo contains a combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan. So, Covamlo does have Telma salt (Telmisartan) along with Amlodipine. The combination of Amlodipine and Telmisartan in Covamlo helps in better control of blood pressure compared to Telma alone.

I'm having some muscle pain when I stretch, especially along my chest rib and it even feels like it's coming from the back. I got an ECG and echo done, and they came back normal, but I still feel this discomfort on the upper left side of my chest. I'm getting a bit scared, especially when I sometimes have shortness of breath. Could this be costochondritis or something to do with my lungs or heart?
