Breathlessness
I have been having on and off breathlessness for 2-3 days I underwent ECG it was normal and D Dimer it was negative ( though readings are fluctuating from 0.25 to 0.4 and then 0.3) I also underwent ECHO.
EF was 60% but only abnormalities were mild TR and RSVP 24 mm hg. Is it PAH ? Is my breathlessness due to this ? My SpO2 is always intact at 97-98%. I also have mild hepatomegaly due to fatty liver.
Please tell.

You can do off a lung function test to rule out any lung related issues. Also a treadmill test from cardio will be much more significant than mere echo. Rvsp more than 25 is considered PAH. So dont worry. But u having mild TR need to find out.
