I recently went for a routine check-up and my ECG showed a heart rate of 106. It was marked as an abnormal ECG. Now I'm worried about this result. Could you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for my age?

A heart rate of 106 beats per minute on an ECG can be considered slightly elevated, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. It is important to consider other factors such as your age, medical history, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. In some cases, a heart rate of 106 may be within normal limits, especially during physical activity or times of stress. However, if you are concerned about your ECG results, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. They may recommend monitoring your heart rate, lifestyle modifications, or medications if necessary.
