If the lungs or pulmonary arteries are affected by this disorder, the right ventricular pressure may increase slightly. But, since the report says that the doppler studies are inadequate, the right ventricle and tricuspid valve could be entirely normal and these findings could be related to the poor images obtained. Thus, I think it's time that you see a cardiologist to go over your entire history and your echocardiogram and to make decisions about what other tests need to be done. It's difficult for me to determine in this forum what is causing your symptoms and what the next step should be, so please ask the cardiologist you see about these problems. I hope you find this information useful.
