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?

View allI've been taking propranolol 10mg for my anxiety whenever needed, and it's been a big help. But lately, I've had to take it every day for about a week, and now I'm experiencing this sharp, stabbing pain in the center of my chest that goes to my back. I'm not sure if it's just anxiety or something more serious. I'm a healthy 26-year-old guy, and my resting heart rate is between 52 and 56 bpm, but sometimes it drops into the 40s. I do have a history of gastroparesis. Do you think this chest pain could be an issue related to the medication or something else going on?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to the propranolol medication. Chest pain is a known side effect of propranolol, especially in individuals with a history of heart conditions. Given your symptoms and medical history, it is important to consult your healthcare provider as soon as possible to evaluate the chest pain and determine the appropriate course of action. In the meantime, it is advisable to avoid sudden discontinuation of propranolol as it can lead to withdrawal symptoms. If the chest pain is severe or persistent, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm seeing my BP as 124 over 80, and my pulse rate is 108. Is this pulse rate normal? I'm also 73 kg and having some neck pain. Should I be concerned about any of this?
