I'm feeling a bit worried after our recent echocardiography showed mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. Can this one test really confirm I have PAH, or should I be looking into more testing? And what should I expect in terms of life expectancy with mild PAH? Is there any chance that this condition can be cured?

View allI'm a bit confused about my recent TMT test results since it came back negative. Can you explain what that means for me?
A negative TMT (Treadmill Test) result indicates that there were no significant abnormalities detected during the test. It means that there is no evidence of blockages or reduced blood flow to the heart during physical activity. This is a good sign for your heart health.

I'm feeling a bit worried because all my tests like ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram came back normal, but I'm still having symptoms every day. Could it be microvascular angina or maybe spasms in my arteries, or is it something else entirely?
Based on your normal test results and everyday symptoms, it is possible that you may be experiencing microvascular angina or spasms in the arteries. In such cases, medications like Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be helpful in relieving symptoms. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed. Additionally, medications like Calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine can also be prescribed to help with vasospasms. The typical dosage for Amlodipine is 5 to 10 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
