How can I improve stammering on certain letters?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com I read your query and understand your concern. Stammering is more common than many people realize, and seeking guidance is already a positive and confident step forward. Since you mentioned feeling uncomfortable with certain letters, such as “S,” “C,” and “F,” you can begin with a simple daily practice routine. Each day, choose around ten new words that start with these letters and practice saying them aloud about twenty times each. It may feel uncomfortable at first, which is completely natural, but consistency is very important.

Can a person have PAH when RVSP is 30.2 mmHg?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and can understand your concern. Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) is raised. This suggests pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) as the right ventricle pumps blood into the lungs through the pulmonary artery. So, any pathology inside the lungs that leads to increased PAH produces resistance to blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs, which causes back pressure and increases workload over the right ventricle, resulting in RVSP.

I have been having chest discomfort. What could it be?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Since you have mentioned that ECG and other tests came out to be normal, it is not associated with any cardiac abnormality. As you have a history of gastritis confirmed through EGD (Esophagogastroduodenoscopy), there is more possibility of association with acid reflux. Acid causes irritation of esophagus and leads to inhibition of vagal tone (vagus nerve supply to the heart) resulting in increased heart rate. This in turn leads to palpitation, chest discomfort, burning sensation etc.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read through your entire case history. You are lucky that you have a good cardiac output. Your EF (ejection fraction) is all right and as per your stress test, there is nothing going in opposite and your heart is still doing well. Frankly speaking, heaviness on the right side of the chest is not at all related to cardiac issues.
