I had an ECG done yesterday, and the report said there's a long left axis deviation. Can you explain what that means? I've attached the ECG for you to check.

Long left axis deviation on an ECG can indicate various underlying conditions such as heart enlargement, high blood pressure, or conduction abnormalities. It is important to correlate this finding with your symptoms and medical history. In some cases, further evaluation such as an echocardiogram may be needed. Please follow up with your healthcare provider for a detailed evaluation and appropriate management.

Question

I'm really worried about my sister. She recently had an angioplasty for her heart, and now she's taking Pentids 400mg tablets. Im concerned if there might be any side effects from this medication. Can you share any insights on this?

Question

I take Tazloc Trio 40 mg in the morning right after breakfast, and I've noticed that about 10-15 minutes later, when I start driving to work, I get this drowsy feeling. It's a bit concerning, especially because I do an intense workout on my bike for an hour before breakfast, and my heart rate is usually around 145-150 bpm. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night because of restless legs, but I still push myself to cycle every morning before taking my medication. My blood pressure used to be pretty high at 160120, and my doctor switched me from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio. Could this drowsiness be related to the medication or my morning routine? What should I do about it?

Question

I'm really concerned about the results of my ECG. It mentioned something about Interior Ischemia and an abnormal T wave. I'm not exactly sure what that means or how serious it is. Could you tell me what the best treatment options are for this situation? Should I be worried?
