What Does This Echo-cardiogram Test Result For Shoulder Pain Indicate?

Hi there. I m a 35 year old female. I also have POTS. I just met with my cardiologist with results of an echocardiogram I had for shoulder blade pain that he believes is acid reflux related. My ejection fraction was 50. He said I had moderate tricuspid regurgitation in between 2-3, mild pulmonary hypertension at 42 (he said normal was 25-35, and an enlarged right atrium which he said was just a little bit. Everything else was normal. He s not concerned at all about this and said I just needed to come back in 2-3 years to repeat it. He said multiple things can affect this and tomorrow another echo could be normal. It changes due to fluid status, etc. Everything I ve read on the internet about this is giving me the worst anxiety. Do you agree with my cardiologist?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

Thanks for your question. I do understand your pain and discomfort. As per question the cardiologist what he is saying is totally wrong. Please do ECHO and tell radiologist to give his own opinions on the matter and also add ECG.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.

Wishing you all the best.

Thanks,
