A member asked:

Can mild tricuspid insufficiency cause air hunger & sob, especially when tired? my doc doesn't think so, my aunt (obgyn) does. unsure what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pulmonary: Mild TR should not cause those severe symptoms. Need a pulmonary evaluation including pulmonary function testing. Would also look into whether abnormal heart rhythms may be making the TR episodically worse, which might then cause those symptoms. Also need to rule out anemia or some other oxygen carrying capacity problem.
