I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

View allI'm a 13-year-old boy with a hole in my heart, and my parents didn't go for the surgery. What kind of problems could this cause for me now and later in life? Will it get worse as I grow older?
A heart defect can cause breathlessness, fatigue, or infections later in life. Get an echocardiogram. If large, surgery may be needed before adulthood.

I'm a bit worried about my ECG report that mentions 'mild ST depressions in the inferolateral leads.' Is this something serious that I need to be concerned about? Can it be fixed or managed in some way? I'm not really sure what it means and would love some guidance.
Mild ST depressions in the inferolateral leads on an ECG can indicate underlying issues such as myocardial ischemia (reduced blood flow to the heart muscle), which can be a cause for concern. It's important to follow up with your cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the exact cause. They may recommend further tests such as an echocardiogram, stress test, or coronary angiography to assess the severity and plan appropriate treatment. Management may include lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures to improve blood flow to the heart. Please discuss these findings with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and treatment.

I'm trying to make sense of my ECG results, which show a prolonged QT. As a diabetic patient on Metxl 25 mg for high blood pressure, I'm worried about what this means. Could this be a sign of blocked arteries?
Prolonged QT interval on an ECG can be a sign of an abnormal heart rhythm, which can increase the risk of fainting, seizures, or sudden death. In diabetic patients with high blood pressure, it is important to monitor the QT interval closely as certain medications can further prolong it. Metxl 25 mg is likely Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker commonly used to treat high blood pressure. It is important to discuss the prolonged QT interval with your doctor, as they may consider adjusting your medication or prescribing additional treatments to manage this condition. Prolonged QT interval is not typically a direct symptom of artery blockages, but it is important to address this issue to prevent any potential complications. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
