I'm experiencing some left arm pain and dizziness lately, and I also have GERD issues. From time to time, I get this jaw pain too. Could this be something related to my heart? I had a Holter test done back in February and everything seemed normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Would really appreciate your insight on this.

View allCan having conditions like splenomegaly or GERD cause left axis deviation on an ECG even if there aren't any other abnormalities? My cardiologist mentioned that having LAD in my case is normal since there aren't any additional issues, but I'm worried. Should I be concerned about this?
Left axis deviation can be a normal finding in some people, if not accompanied by any other cardiac findings orbsymptoms. And it has nothing to do with gerd or spleenomegaly.

I'm feeling pretty anxious because I recently had some chest pain and my doctor recommended a CT angiography. The report mentions something about a small segment of myocardial bridging in the mid LAD. I'm really worried about what this means. Is it a big deal? Should I rush to consult a specialist, or is this something that I can keep an eye on for now? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Myocardial bridging is a condition where a segment of a coronary artery tunnels through the myocardium rather than resting on top of it. In most cases, myocardial bridging is considered a benign condition and does not require any specific treatment. However, in some cases, it can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, especially during physical exertion. In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain and have already been advised angiography, it would be best to follow up with a cardiologist. They can further evaluate your condition and determine if any additional treatment or monitoring is necessary. In the meantime, you can manage your symptoms with medications like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers to help relieve chest pain.
