I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

My dad is 66 and has hypertension but stays active with no obvious symptoms. His recent ECG for a cataract surgery checkup showed incomplete RBBB and left axis deviation how serious is this? Should we be worried?

Incomplete RBBB with left axis deviation can be age-related or benign but may need a cardiology consult to rule out underlying heart issues, especially before surgery.

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?

Repeat ecg is advised.

I've been noticing this pain on the right side of my chest that comes and goes really quickly, lasting just about 2 seconds each time. It's got me wondering if it's something serious or just a random pain. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest
