Question

I'm a bit worried about my ECG results from a recent preventive health checkup. It mentioned "T inversion in III and aVF" and I'm not sure what that means. My heart rate was 75 bpm, PR interval at 126 ms, and QRS duration at 112 ms. Then, there's the QT interval at 358 ms and QTC interval at 402 ms. The axis angles were noted as P Wave 27 degrees, QRS Wave 4 degrees, and T Wave 6 degrees. Could you please help me understand what all this means and if I should be concerned?

Question

I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

Question

I'm having this squeezing pain in my chest that's been going on for a couple of days now. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Any idea what might be going on?
