I have just had my results back from my doctor & in the conclusion part it says:

PAp 28mmHg RAp It also says: Estimated Pulmonary Artery Pressure: VTR 2.64m/s, PAp 28mmHg RAp

Looking at the normal limits online it points appears that I have pulmonary artery hypertension? A diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is made if the pulmonary artery pressure is 25 mm Hg or greater while at rest. But this is by Cardiac catheterization which is more accurate than an echo.

Could someone please confirm what this means? I am terrified.
