I'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. It mentioned "Sinus rhythm and ST Elevation probable normal early repolarization pattern." Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A sinus rhythm on an ECG indicates that the heart is beating normally. ST elevation with probable normal early repolarization pattern can be a normal variant in some individuals, especially young, healthy individuals. However, it can also be seen in conditions like pericarditis or myocardial infarction. Since I don't have the complete picture of your health and medical history, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

View allCan high blood pressure cause shortness of breath?
High blood pressure forces your heart to work harder to pump blood to the rest of your body. This causes part of your heart (left ventricle) to thicken and may lead to heart failure which presents as shortness of breath, chest pain, persistent cough, swelling in legs and weakness.

I'm a bit concerned about the variation in my heart rates. My sleeping heart rate is around 55 bpm, while my resting heart rate falls between 80-100 bpm. When I wake up, it usually ranges from 100-120 bpm, and during brisk walking, it goes up to between 130-160 bpm. I'm 26 years old, have a healthy BMI at 22.5, my cholesterol levels are where they should be, and my blood pressure and echocardiogram results are normal. Is it normal for my heart rate to vary this much?
Having variations in heart rate throughout the day is normal, especially in response to different activities and stress levels. However, if you are concerned about the wide range of heart rates you are experiencing, you may consider taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce fluctuations. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.

I'm really worried because I'm having trouble breathing and there's a tightness in my chest, plus my left hand is hurting. I did an HRCT Thorax and it came back normal, but my ECG shows a poor R wave. I'm attaching the report if you could take a look. My doctor prescribed Defza 24, Moxif 400, and Doxt SL 100, but I'm not feeling any better. I also notice this weird sound in my chest whenever I try to cough, even though no cough is actually coming up. Can you help me understand what's going on?
The HRCT thorax showing normal results is a good sign, indicating that there are no major abnormalities in your chest area. However, the ECG showing a poor R wave may indicate some issues with your heart's electrical activity. The symptoms of breathing difficulty, chest tightness, and left hand pain could be related to cardiac issues. The medications prescribed to you are as follows: 1. Defza 24 (Deflazacort) - This is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation in the body. The usual dosage is 24 mg per day. 2. Moxif 400 (Moxifloxacin) - This is an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. The usual dosage is 400 mg once daily. 3. Doxt SL 100 (Doxycycline) - This is also an antibiotic that is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. The usual dosage is 100 mg once daily. It is important to continue taking these medications as prescribed by your doctor. However, if you are not feeling better and experiencing chest sounds when trying to cough, it is advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. It is possible that additional tests or medications may be needed to address your symptoms effectively.
