I'm a bit confused about my recent test results. My echo test came back normal, but my ECG report is considered borderline. Could you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned or take any specific actions?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A borderline ECG report means that there may be some minor abnormalities or variations in the electrical activity of your heart, but they are not significant enough to definitively diagnose a specific condition. In this case, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring. Depending on your specific symptoms and medical history, your doctor may recommend further tests or medications. In the meantime, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.

I recently got a full body checkup and I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. Some of them are in the normal range, but others are close to being high. At 26, should I be worried about this? Is it a major concern for someone my age?
"Based on your full body checkup report, it is important to monitor your cholesterol levels closely, especially at the age of 26. To help manage your cholesterol levels, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10mg to 20mg daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise can also be beneficial in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels."

I'm wondering about my QTc interval, which was 454ms on the EKG. Is this considered normal? I also have sinus arrhythmia and had a panic attack before but during that time, both the EKG and echocardiogram came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or ask my doctor?
Your QTc interval of 454ms is slightly prolonged, which may be related to your sinus arrhythmia. Since you have a history of panic attacks, it's important to monitor your QTc interval regularly. In this case, it would be advisable to avoid medications that can further prolong the QTc interval. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
