Can having conditions like splenomegaly or GERD cause left axis deviation on an ECG even if there aren't any other abnormalities? My cardiologist mentioned that having LAD in my case is normal since there aren't any additional issues, but I'm worried. Should I be concerned about this?

Left axis deviation can be a normal finding in some people, if not accompanied by any other cardiac findings orbsymptoms. And it has nothing to do with gerd or spleenomegaly.

Question

I'm 23 and have noticed a persistent dull pain under the second-to-last rib on the left side of my chest, about 23 inches below my left nipple. It's been happening for around 12 days now, mainly during deep breaths or when I try to stretch by pushing my chest out. I've never felt this pain before, and I'm starting to get worried because we do have a family history of high blood pressure and heart attacksmy grandfather and father, specifically. I've also been smoking tobacco for the last three years. Do you think this is something serious I should be worried about?

Question

I've noticed my blood pressure has been rising, it's at 140100 now. My lipid profile, thyroid, ECG, and sugar levels are all normal. I'm worried about the increasing BP though. Should I consider starting medication, or would it be better to try changing my lifestyle first? What do you suggest?
