I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

I've been going through my routine check-up results, and my ECG report mentions sinus tachycardia with some changes in the ST-T section. I'm a 29-year-old guy, and aside from some allergy issues, I don't have any chronic health problems. Should I be worried about these results? Is it considered normal, or is it something I need to look deeper into?

Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate that is often a response to exercise, stress, or illness. In your case, since you have mentioned that you have no known chronic diseases other than allergy problems, it is important to consider other factors that may be causing the sinus tachycardia. The changes in the ST-T segment could be indicative of various conditions, such as myocardial ischemia or electrolyte imbalances. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of beta-blockers such as Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Additionally, monitoring your electrolyte levels and ensuring proper hydration may also be beneficial.
