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
