I'm trying to understand what "borderline ECG" really means. Should I be worried about it? I've attached my ECG report. Can you help explain what it indicates?

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past two years and I'm a bit worried because I'm currently taking Metzok 50 every day. Is there anything else I should be doing to better control my hypertension? I'm just not sure if the medicine alone is enough or if there are other lifestyle changes I should be aware of.
To control high blood pressure effectively, it is important to continue taking your medication as prescribed. Metzok 50 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker commonly used to treat hypertension. The usual dosage for Metoprolol in hypertension is 50-100mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and timing of your medication. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, limiting alcohol intake, and managing stress can also help in controlling high blood pressure.

So, I was wondering, while I was out trekking recently, my heart rate spiked up to 85% of what my target heart rate is, which is about 185 BPM. During this, I felt a bit of pain on the left side of my neck. Its kind of a pulsating ache, but not too intense, and it seems to improve when I rest. Is this something normal? Ive already done some tests like a blood test showing my cholesterol is in range, an ECG that came back normal with sinus tachycardia, and both an ECHO 2D and TMT that are normal. By the way, Im 26 years old. Can you shed some light on this?
Hello, based on your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing some muscle strain or tension in your neck, especially since the pain improves with rest. However, given your normal test results and age of 26 years, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. To help with the mild pulsating pain in your left side of the neck, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area to help relax the muscles. Make sure to stay hydrated and practice good posture while trekking to prevent further strain on your neck muscles. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation
