I'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm feeling a lot of pain in my left shoulder and it's been happening pretty often since yesterday. I'm really concerned it might be linked to a heart issue. What should I do?

An ecg and cardiac markers are advised.

I'm experiencing some sudden pain on the left side of my chest and leg, specifically around the knee, and I'm not sure what's going on. The pain tends to come and go, and it's been like this since yesterday. There's no pain in my hand, just the leg and chest. Do you have any advice or know of any tablets I could take to help with this?

"Based on your symptoms of sudden chest pain and left leg pain, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as a heart attack or blood clot. However, if the pain is intermittent and not severe, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. I recommend taking Tablet Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed for chest and leg pain. Make sure to rest and avoid any strenuous activities until the pain subsides."
