NT Pro BNP Test Result

Pulmonary Hypertension and NT Pro BNP test results. I received results of this test today. 84 in April and 138 today. What does this mean? I had an appt. today with my pulmonologist before the blood draw so he did not see the results, but he told me my heart was good. I did do a 6 minute-walk-test an hour before with excellent scores. Could this have caused the high number? I'm worried, scared, and won't be able to talk to my doctor's office until Monday.

Hi, how many meters do you take for 6 minutes?

HI I am unable to walk far at all,my BNP went from 350 to 3600 in a few weeks, I was told it was because I was in AF.Meds seem to be controlling that a bit but still waiting to see cardiologist again. Nurse says AF and raised BNP may be caused by my Mitral valve regurgitation. Diagnosed as moderate !
