I'm really worried about my dad. He's 77 and has been having this on-and-off chest pain right in the middle. We just got his ECG done and it showed some abnormalities in the T wave. We're supposed to get an echo done tomorrow. I'm just wondering, could this be something serious?

View allI'm really worried about something I came across in my medical report it mentions 'abnormal BR wave progression.' Is this something serious or dangerous? What steps should I consider taking to address or monitor this?
Abnormal ECG findings like abnormal R wave progression can indicate underlying heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of this abnormality. Treatment may involve medications such as beta blockers like Metoprolol or calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional after a thorough evaluation. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition.

I recently had an ECG because I've been experiencing some mild chest pain. My doctor said it was gastric pain, but the ECG report showed a borderline sinus rhythm and some non-specific T wave abnormalities. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Should I be worried about these results? Any advice on what steps I should take next would be really helpful.
