I'm really concerned about my dad's recent medical tests. His ECG showed something about an aVF T Wave abnormality, but then he got a 2D echo, and it came back normal. I'm just trying to understand why one test would show something abnormal and the other wouldn't. Could this mean something serious?

cause is lack of electrical impulse to the heart and lack of blood supply leading to sudden collaose and dizziness.Patient needs cardioversion or a defibrilator as a immediate treatment.

View allI'm wondering if it's okay to take my blood pressure while I'm lying down or if I should always be in a sitting position. Does the blood pressure reading change when I'm lying down compared to when I'm sitting?
It is generally recommended to measure blood pressure while sitting, as this is the standard position for accurate readings. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to measure blood pressure while lying down, especially for patients who have difficulty sitting or standing. Blood pressure readings can vary depending on body position, with readings typically lower when lying down compared to sitting or standing.

I'm experiencing something odd and could use some advice. Lately, when I wake up and start walking, it feels like my heart is racing, and I get a bit breathlessbut only the first time. If I lie back down for a bit and then walk again, I feel completely normal. Is this something I should worry about in terms of my heart? I've had an ECG and a 2D Echo, and they both came back normal. I also saw a pulmonologist, and all tests were fine. What could be causing this?
"Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and 2D Echo results, as well as the evaluation by a pulmonologist, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart issue or a pulmonary problem. It is possible that your symptoms could be related to orthostatic hypotension, which is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when standing up from a sitting or lying down position. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and standing up slowly to allow your body to adjust to the change in position. In some cases, medications like Fludrocortisone or Midodrine may be prescribed to help manage orthostatic hypotension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I've been experiencing a burning sensation across my chest, including the areas near my armpits on both sides. I'm worried it might be related to a heart issue. Could this be the case?
The presence of a burning sensation in the chest, particularly given your history and recent exercise, could indeed be related to a cardiac issue, particularly if accompanied by other symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, or radiating pain. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any serious conditions such as angina or a heart attack. In the meantime, avoid any further physical exertion and try to stay calm. Getting evaluated by a healthcare provider will allow for necessary tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.
