I've been experiencing a sudden heaviness in my chest lately, and it's making me feel like I need to take deeper breaths sometimes. I also have a slight burning sensation in my stomach. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

I'm looking at my 2D echo report and trying to understand a couple of things. It mentions there's no regional wall motion abnormality and that my LV systolic function is good with a normal filling pattern. I'm relieved that there's no MR, AR, or precardial effusion, and no clots were found, but it says there's trivial TR and mild PAH. Could you help me understand what mild PAH means? From what you see in my report, how should I feel about these results overall?
