I'm sorry to hear you are having some difficulty.  If you are having TIAs and PEs, hopefully you have been worked up for a hypercoagulable disorder.  I am not sure if your pulmonary pressure is your peak systolic pressure or your mean pressure, so I can't speak to the severity of it.  I also can't tell the location or severity of your leaking heart valves. If you are unhappy with your cardiologist, I encourage you to seek a second opinion.  Hope this helps!
