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'm experiencing a mild pain on the left side of my chest, and I'm not really sure what's going on. Could you recommend a medicine that might help? If it doesn't get better, I'm thinking of coming in for a check-up and more treatment. What do you suggest?

I recommend taking Acetaminophen 500mg for your mild chest pain on the left side. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further medical evaluation.

I'm really feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.

I just got my results from a full body check-up, and it turns out my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) level is at 20 mgL. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication? Would love your thoughts on this.

based on your high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) level of >20 mgL, it indicates inflammation in your body. To lower your HS-CRP level and reduce inflammation, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also help in reducing inflammation. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring your HS-CRP levels.
