R/O PULMONARY HTN: You need to get copies of your office notes and Echo . Then get a Pulmonary and Cardiology consult. They will help determine Primary vs Secondary Pulmonary HTN and go over treatment options. Please see the specialist in your area and get repeat ECHO and TEE.

Pulm hypertension: Pulmonary hypertension can be serious. Diagnosis by echocardiogram can be difficult and subtle. Consider requesting consultation with a Pulmonologist with experience. Early treatment could potentially be critical. The pulmonologist may agree with the misread or may suggest Right Heart Catheterization procedure to be sure.
