View allI'm trying to understand how serious mild pulmonary hypertension is and if there's a way to stop it from getting worse. Is it possible to treat it before it becomes severe?
Mild pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is slightly higher than normal. It can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and fainting. If left untreated, it can progress to more severe stages. Treatment for mild pulmonary hypertension aims to manage symptoms and prevent progression to more severe stages. Medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) can help improve blood flow in the lungs and reduce symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking can also help manage mild pulmonary hypertension. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

I've been dealing with high triglyceride and cholesterol levels, like 245 and 280. I started taking this med, ROZUCOR 10 mg, which helped, but I ended up with really cold feet, body aches, and some weird neuropathy feelings. My tests like H1bac at 4.9 and BS at 94, and Tsh came back normal. The symptoms eased off once I stopped the meds. Now, I'm wondering if there are other medications I could try for cholesterol that might not give me such side effects?

Ive been getting this warm sensation near my left ribs and just below my breast lately. I went for a master checkup and had an ECG and 2D Echo done, and everything came back normal. But I couldn't do the TMT test because of an ACL ligament tear, so walking on the treadmill isn't an option for me. Do you think I need the TMT or any other tests to make sure it's not a heart issue?
Since your ECG and 2D Echo reports are normal, it is less likely that the heat feeling near your left ribs and below your breast is related to a heart issue. However, considering your symptoms, it may still be beneficial to undergo further testing to rule out any other potential causes. One option could be a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the area near your left ribs and below your breast for any abnormalities. Additionally, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may also be helpful to assess for any gastrointestinal issues that could be causing your symptoms.
