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.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried because for the past four days, I've been taking Monotrate 10mg and have noticed an irregular heartbeat. It seems to be getting better with the medication, but it's still there. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will resolve as I continue with the Monotrate? What should I do next?

I've had some tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, and a thyroid test, and they all came back normal. But still, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to like 120 or 140 and then goes back to normal after a bit. I tried beta blockers for about 4 months, but it didnt really help, so my doctor told me not to worry and said it's normal for me. I've stopped taking the meds now. Should I really not be concerned about these spikes in my pulse rate?
It sounds like you have been experiencing episodes of high pulse rate despite normal results on your ECG, 2D echo, and thyroid tests. Since beta blockers did not effectively control your pulse rate, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine. The usual starting dose for Amlodipine is 5 mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. It is important to monitor your pulse rate regularly and report any persistent high readings to your doctor.

I'm really concerned because my last BP reading was 160100, and I can't seem to book a doctor's appointment soon. Can anyone suggest what I should do next or if there's any medication I could consider in the meantime? Any advice would be really appreciated.
you can start taking Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also consider adding Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name: Microzide) 12.5mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.
