I'm dealing with this ongoing issue of shortness of breath that just started up recently. It started after I began taking these medicines called Muktavati and Medhavati extra power from Patanjali for my high blood pressure. I was taking one tablet of Muktavati in the morning and one Medhavati at night for about 18 days, stopping on May 21st, 2022. Ever since I stopped, the breathing thing has been happening. What do you think could be going on here? Would really appreciate some guidance.

I'm a bit worried after reading my 2D echo report. It mentions mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension with PASP by TR jet measuring 38 mmHg. Does this mean I definitely have pulmonary hypertension? And should I be concerned about it getting worse over time, like becoming moderate or even severe?

Mild pulmonary hypertension is indicated by a PASP (Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure) of 36-50 mmHg. This means that there is increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild pulmonary hypertension, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the pressure in the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. It is possible for pulmonary hypertension to progress to moderate or severe levels in the future, but with proper management and regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider, the progression can be slowed down or even prevented. Regular monitoring and adherence to treatment plans are crucial in managing pulmonary hypertension.
