I just got my ECG results back from a health check-up, and it's showing a Left Axis Deviation. I've never had any BP problems, and my blood pressure during the exam was 13080. What could be causing the Left Axis Deviation? Should I be worried about it?

View allI'm trying to understand my echo report and I'm a bit concerned. It says my cardiac size is normal with some terms like Lvdd being 5.4 cm, La at 3.8 cm, and mild lvh. Then it mentions good lv systolic function and an EF range of 55 to 60. Plus, normal right systolic function and no abnormal wall motion. Should I be worried about anything here? Just looking for some clarity on what all this means for my heart health.
Your echo report indicates that you have Cardiac Hypertrophy with normal left ventricular size (LVDD 5.4 cm) and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Your left atrium is also within normal size (LA 3.8 cm). The report shows good left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 55-60%. Additionally, your right ventricular systolic function is normal with no abnormal wall motion. Based on the information provided, you may consider medications such as: - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help reduce fluid buildup in the body and manage symptoms of heart failure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing this odd pin-pricking sensation on the left side of my chest for the past couple of days. It's happening now and then, not consistently. I remember having similar pain about three years ago, but it went away on its own back then. Should I be worried this time? What might be causing this sensation?
pin-pricking sensation in the left side of the chest can be unsettling. Given that you've experienced similar pain 3 years ago, which resolved on its own, it's essential to take this incident seriously and explore possible explanations. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Costochondritis_: Inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone can cause sharp, stabbing pains. 2. _Musculoskeletal issues_: Strained or pulled muscles in the chest wall can lead to pin-pricking sensations. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, or stomach ulcers can cause chest pain. 4. _Cardiovascular concerns_: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out cardiovascular issues, such as angina or pericarditis. _What to Do Next_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician to discuss your symptoms. 2. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep a journal to track when the pin-pricking sensation occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. _Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities_: Until you've consulted with your doctor, avoid any activities that may exacerbate the discomfort. If you experience any of the following, seek immediate medical attention: - Severe chest pain or pressure - Difficulty breathing - Dizziness or fainting - Pain radiating to your arms, back, or jaw
