Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query: I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?

I've been dealing with this for years, but recently it's getting much more intense. It can happen at any time whether I'm just lying down or walking around. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm taking Prolomet 25mg for my high heart rate and blood pressure and I've been on it for about a year. Sometimes when I catch a common cold, it gets hard to breathe and I take Budamet tablets. But when I talked to a pulmonologist, he said that Prolomet isnt good for long-term use because it can cause respiratory issues, and he suggested switching to OLMARK 40 instead. Does this sound right to you, or should I be concerned about making the change?

yes continue olmark 40 medication.
