Question

I'm really stressed out because I've had a few ECGs recently, with the last two done today. They show sinus rhythm with marked left axis deviation, and it's consistent with LAFB, but at the same time, it says there's no significant abnormalities. Without any medical insurance, I'm super worried. Is this something serious? Can you explain what all of this means?

Question

I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experienced some palpitations afterward, which have since improved over time. After recovering, I did a holter monitor test that was normal except for Sinus Arrhythmia, which my doctor said was normal. My Echo test in October also came back normal. I often check my pulse rate and oxygen because of occasional palpitations since the Covid infection. Do you think I need more tests because of this short pulse interval message?
