So my persian kitten breathes like a dog sometimes when we make him run and play. On my wife's suggestion I saw a vet and got the above test done and the result I have already mentioned. He is falling in range 27-73 pg/mL as per this lab.

I want to know is it a critical situation? I have been told that he has to be on medication whole life. Can anyone suggest me what precaution I should take with my kitten and how to give him the best life. The kitten has good appetite and wonderful activity level, his weight is around 4 kg.

Also worth mentioning is that he was neutered last Monday and the heart test was done this Saturday. Could it have influenced the result though he wasn't on medication for 24 hours before the test?

I am sorry I am in a state of panic, got the report moments ago.

I live in a, place where temperature ranges from 25-43 celcius In summers and 0-12 celcius in winters.
