Brief Answer:
Please upload the reports.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) levels of 100-300 pg/mL suggest heart failure is present. So, I would need to have a look at the other reports before I am able to comment further. I would insist you to upload the medical documents and investigation results such that I can guide you further.

I would await your response.
