my cardiologist said my ekg showed a borderline ecg when i went for bariatric surgery clearance - what does that actually mean and is it something to worry about

A "borderline ECG" means that the results are not entirely normal but also not clearly abnormal. It may reflect minor, nonspecific changes that aren’t necessarily serious. In the context of surgery clearance, your cardiologist likely didn’t find anything concerning enough to delay the procedure but may want to monitor your heart health. It’s best to follow up if you develop symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.

I've been dealing with a higher heart rate for about 45 days now, and it's really starting to make me feel nervous and cause chest pain. This actually happened to me about two years ago as well, and back then I did all the tests like ECG and 2D ECHO but they didn't find anything wrong. Now that it's happening again, I'm really concerned. Can you suggest what might be causing this or how I should treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 10-40mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed to control heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
