My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate; it's at 48. Is this normal, or could it indicate something potentially not good? Should I actually make an appointment with a doctor to get it checked out?
Resting heart is low, you need an ecg and cardiac markers.

I've been having this chest pain, mostly on the left side, but sometimes it just spreads everywhere around my chest. I've also been getting lightheaded, like my balance is off, and my ears keep popping and ringing. One weird thing is I randomly had testicle pain while I was at work the other day, plus headaches and muscle pain in my neck and jaw. I know I have anxiety which gives me panic attacks, but this feels different. Do you think it's all connected, or is there something else going on?
You may be experiencing symptoms that could be related to multiple issues. The chest pain, lightheadedness, balance issues, ear symptoms, testicle pain, headaches, and muscle pain in your neck and jaw could be related to various conditions. Given your history of anxiety and panic attacks, it's important to consider both physical and psychological factors. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and to receive appropriate treatment.

I've noticed that my resting pulse rate usually hovers around 90, although it can dip slightly below that sometimes. Is this normal for me? Also, I've observed that my pulse rate spikes to around 120 after I eat and take a light walk, like after lunch. Is this something I should be concerned about? Just a month ago, I went for a health check-up, and both the ECG and 2D echo turned out normal. I'd love to get your thoughts on this.
A resting pulse rate of around 90 beats per minute can be considered within the normal range, although it is on the higher side. It is normal for the pulse rate to increase after eating or during physical activity. A pulse rate of around 120 beats per minute while walking after lunch is also within normal limits, especially if you were engaging in mild physical activity. Since your ECG and 2D echo results were normal one month back, it is reassuring that there are no underlying heart conditions causing these pulse rate variations. However, if you continue to have concerns about your pulse rate, it would be advisable to monitor it regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on managing your pulse rate.
