I've got my ECG results, and it mentions left axis deviation and early repolarization. I'm 21 and male, and I'm really confused about what this means for my health. Should I be worried about being medically unfit? What should I do next?

You should show your ECG report to a physician to get a clearer picture of your condition. Left axis deviation can be seen in various conditions, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, left bundle branch block and even inferior wall myocardial infarction. Early repolarisation refers to ST segment elevation with no underlying cause.

I'm noticing my blood pressure is all over the place, swinging between 11179 and 13389 over the past week. Do you think I should be on medication for this? Also, my lipid profile shows total cholesterol at 202, triglycerides at 237, LDL at 158, and HDL at 34. Should I be worried about these levels?

Your blood pressure readings are fluctuating within a borderline range, and considering your lipid profile results, medication may be beneficial to manage both your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a combination medication like "Caduet" which contains Amlodipine 5mg and Atorvastatin 10mg. You can take 1 tablet daily in the evening. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health.
