I recently got my routine health checkup results back, and the ECG report mentioned something about "ST-segment elevation lateral" and "borderline ECG." I'm not really sure what that means, and it's got me a bit worried. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or just a minor issue?

ST-segment elevation on an ECG can indicate a potential heart issue, such as myocardial infarction or heart attack. The lateral aspect refers to the left side of the heart. A borderline ECG means that the findings are not definitively abnormal but may warrant further investigation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

I've been feeling this odd sensation in my chest for the past 23 days, almost like there's a light weight sitting there. When I stand up after sitting for a bit, it gets worse, and I feel a bit breathless with fear running through my mind. What could be causing this, and who should I see about it? It's pretty scary for me, especially since I just had tests like an ECG done last year for insurance. What do you think?
I understand that this feeling can be quite distressing. It could be related to anxiety, acid reflux, or even a cardiac issue, though your previous tests were normal. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough check-up and possibly an updated ECG, as well as discussing any anxiety or stress you might be experiencing. Take care!

I'm 22 and have been feeling something weird in my heart for about a week now. It's hard to explain, but it's like something is wrong near my heart. I can still walk 5km, run, lift weights, and eat normally. However, when I drink water, it feels like it's going toward my heart. Also, I have a slight pain in my right thigh. I'm getting a bit worried because I'm planning to go to the UK next month. Is this something serious that I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any potential heart issues. The sensation you are feeling near your heart, along with the thigh pain, could be related to various factors. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of Aspirin (75-100mg) once daily to help with any potential heart-related concerns. Additionally, ensure you stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities until you have been evaluated by a healthcare professional.
