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?

I've been experiencing some occasional tingling or numbness on the left side of my chest, like maybe twice a week. It doesn't really hurt or anything. I've read online that it might be related to anxiety, but I don't feel anxious or stressed out. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or is it something normal?

Ecg is recommended along with serum electrolytes..

I'm a 24-year-old woman with a weight of 37kg, and my heartbeat is constantly around 134bpm, even when I'm resting. For the last 5 years, my heart rate usually stays in the range of 120 to 130. I dont have any other health issues and havent felt any discomfort, but I'm worried this might be dangerous. Do I need surgery, or can this be treated with medicines? Does homeopathy have any solutions? I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Can you help me figure this out?

Your heart rate of 134bpm is slightly elevated, but since you have been experiencing heart rates in the range of 120 to 130 bpm at rest for the past 5 years without any other symptoms, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Surgery is not typically needed for a slightly elevated heart rate. Medications can be used to help control heart rate if necessary. In your case, a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower your heart rate and manage any symptoms you may be experiencing. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to be taken once daily. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

I'm dealing with both mitral and aortic valve stenosis, plus some leakage, and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if that's possible. Is there anything that can help me steer clear of needing valve replacement surgery?

Mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve leakage can be managed with medication to help control symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition. For mitral valve stenosis, you can take medications such as diuretics to reduce fluid buildup, beta-blockers to control heart rate, and blood thinners to prevent blood clots. For aortic valve leakage, medications like ACE inhibitors or ARBs can help reduce strain on the heart and improve symptoms. It is important to regularly monitor your condition with your healthcare provider and follow their recommendations for medication dosage and frequency.
