I recently had an ECS done, and the report mentioned it was an "unconfirmed report." I'm just wondering, what exactly does this mean? Should I be concerned, or is everything likely okay?

View allI've noticed my resting heart rate has been a bit higher than usual, usually between 90 and 110. Sometimes it goes over 100, although not too often. I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned? I had an ECHO last month, and it was normal. At what point should I think about this as potentially dangerous arrhythmia?
An arrhythmia can be dangerous if it leads to symptoms such as chest pain, fainting, dizziness, or shortness of breath. The frequency of arrhythmia that could be considered dangerous varies depending on the type and underlying cause. In your case, with a resting heart rate consistently between 90-110 and occasionally above 100, it is advisable to monitor it closely. Since your ECHO was normal last month, it is reassuring that there are no structural abnormalities with your heart. However, given the increased resting heart rate, it would be prudent to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing a fast heartbeat after I climb stairs or if I'm walking in the sun for just about 10 minutes. Even while cleaning a room, my heart rate seems to go up rapidly. I'm 20 years old, weigh about 65 kg, and I'm 5.4 inches tall. Could you tell me what might be going on?
A fast heart rate after climbing stairs or walking in the sunlight is often due to your body's increased demand for oxygen during physical activity: Climbing stairs: When you climb stairs, your heart works harder to pump blood to your muscles, which increases your heart rate. This is called sinus tachycardia, which is a symptom, not a condition. Sunlight: Physical activity can cause your heart rate to increase.

I'm experiencing just mild chest pain that's been on the left side and it's been going on since morning. It hasn't stopped. What would you suggest I do?
Chest pain, especially if it's persistent and on the left side, can be concerning. It's important to rule out any serious conditions like a heart attack. I recommend taking a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and seeking medical help. Aspirin can help reduce the risk of blood clots. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional as soon as possible to determine the cause of your chest pain.
