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 allMy cholesterol level came back at 241. Do I absolutely have to start taking medication to get it down, or is it possible to lower it just by sticking to a regular workout routine?
Regular exercise can help improve your cholesterol levels, but in some cases, medication may be necessary to bring it down to a healthy range. It's important to follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen, but if your cholesterol levels remain high, your doctor may prescribe medication. One common medication used to lower cholesterol is Atorvastatin, typically taken at a starting dose of 10-20 mg once daily.

I'm dealing with mitral stenosis and had a balloon mitral valvotomy about two years ago. I'm really anxious to know about my life expectancy now. I've attached my ECG and echo results. Could you help me understand what to expect going forward?
"Based on your history of mitral stenosis and previous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) done 2 years ago, your life expectancy can vary depending on various factors such as the severity of the stenosis, your overall health, and any other underlying medical conditions. It is important to regularly follow up with your cardiologist for monitoring and management. For mitral stenosis, medications such as diuretics, beta-blockers, and anticoagulants may be prescribed to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, surgical intervention or another BMV procedure may be recommended. Without reviewing your specific ECG and echo results, I cannot provide a precise estimate of your life expectancy. It is best to discuss this question with your cardiologist who has access to your complete medical history and test results."

I'm looking at these ECG results, and I'm kinda worried. It mentions things like incomplete right bundle branch block, sinus tachycardia, and negative T-wave anterior. There's also something about right atrial enlargement. It even says "probably abnormal ECG." Should I be concerned about these findings? Is any of this stuff serious? I'm really not sure what all these terms mean for my health.
