I'm having this tight feeling in the left side of my chest for a while now, and it's making me really uncomfortable. I had an echocardiography and an ECG done, and they both came back normal. Do you think I should get a lung test?

I'm really stressed out because, for the past six months, I've been dealing with these panic attacks that make me super anxious. I'm a 28-year-old guy and generally healthy. A few days back, I saw a doctor who recommended I get an echocardiogram and some blood tests like CBC, creatinine, and RBS. When I went in for the Echo, I was really scared, and my heart was racing due to my phobia. The results came back mostly normal, except they mentioned something about TR mild with mild PAH. Should I be worried about this leading to complications? And what can I do to treat it?

yes, an elevated esr is a poor prognostic factor or sign in patients with chronic heart failure.
