I'm trying to understand what the results from my ECG mean. It shows an incomplete right bundle branch block, but my echocardiogram came back normal. Do I need to be worried about anything, or is there something specific I should be doing next?

View allI've been experiencing some concerning symptoms and I could really use some advice. My heart rate is around 50-60 when I'm lying down and my SPO2 is 98 with an RR of 16. Lately, I've been having chest pains that feel like needles. They last for just a few seconds or sometimes up to a couple of minutes. I had these issues about two months ago and got an ECG and a stress test done back then, both of which were normal. But now the pains on my left side have started coming back. Should I be doing any additional tests, or does it sound like everythings okay?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of angina, which are chest pains caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Since your ECG and Stress Test results were normal 2 months ago, it is possible that the symptoms you are currently experiencing could be related to a different issue. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac concerns. I recommend that you undergo a Holter monitor test to continuously record your heart's activity over a period of 24-48 hours. This will help to capture any abnormal heart rhythms that may not be detected during a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be beneficial to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, to manage your symptoms, you can take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. If the chest pain persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really anxious about my ECG report. It mentioned a possible lateral infarct with age undetermined. What exactly does that mean? Could it indicate I had a heart attack at some point? I'm confused because my cardiologist said the ECG was normal. Can you help clarify this for me?

I'm concerned because my blood pressure is 140, and I've been experiencing strange sensations in my heart. Sometimes it's like palpitations, and other times it feels as if my heart might stop beating. I've already done an ECG, and it came back normal, so my doctor prescribed me Met XL 25 for my BP. Does a normal ECG mean my heart is okay? Should I be worried about these symptoms, or are they serious? What should I do next?
Your BP is 140 and you are experiencing a weird feeling in your heart, sometimes palpitations, and sometimes feeling like your heart will stop beating. You have done an ECG which came out normal. Your doctor has prescribed Met XL 25 for your BP. ECG being normal indicates that your heart is functioning normally. However, your symptoms of palpitations and strange feelings in the heart should not be ignored. Considering your symptoms and BP level, it is important to follow up with your doctor. In addition to Met XL 25 for BP, you can also take a beta-blocker like Atenolol 25mg to help with palpitations and irregular heartbeats. It is important to monitor your BP regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to improve your heart health.
