Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concerns.
It will not be possible for me to give you the cause without seeing the complete echocardiography report. However, it seems that there is an obstruction to blood flow, either in the lungs or the valves of the heart.
Please upload the echo report for my perusal and opinion.
If you are satisfied with the reply, please do give a 5-star rating, so as to encourage all doctors- who are dedicating their services to providing free advice.
Take care,
Col (Dr.) Rakesh Karanwal
