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.

I've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest for the last three months. It's not super painful, more like an irritation, but sometimes it feels like pinpricks and can also move to my armpit and back. I've had a 2D Echo and two TMTs, and everything came back normal, but I'm still feeling this discomfort. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get another TMT or look into something else?
Considering your symptoms and the normal results of your previous tests, it is important to rule out acid reflux as a possible cause of your chest irritation. I recommend trying a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed, but repeating the TMT may not be necessary at this point.

I was really stressed out and had a day where I experienced palpitations. It's been about a month since then, and I went in for both an ECG and an echocardiogram. The doctors told me everything looked normal, but I noticed a Q wave in lead 3 on my ECG. Is that something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?
Seeing a q wave in lead 3 on an ECG can sometimes be a normal variant and not necessarily indicative of any heart condition. However, it is important to consider the overall clinical context and additional factors. In this case, since your ECG and echo results were reported as normal by your doctors, it is likely that the q wave in lead 3 is not a cause for concern. It would be advisable to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for any further evaluation if needed.
