Yes, there is increased pressure overload on the right side of the heart of the patient. This could be an indication of pulmonary thromboembolism, which could be the reason for increased breathlessness by the patient.
Next Steps
Get the patient admitted in hospital and evaluated. CT pulmonary angiogram should be done.
