I'm a bit concerned about my latest ECG results, specifically the increased rs ratio in V1. I read that it might suggest an early transition or even a posterior infarct. Could this be related to my hypothyroidism and hypertension? Should I consider getting an echo done to figure this out? I'm really worried and would love some advice.

Question

I'm really concerned about this weird heartbeat thing happening to me. Whenever I'm sitting, lying down, or trying to sleep, I can hear my heartbeat really strong. My pulse is usually between 60 and 90, and this has been going on for like 10 months now. I went through all these tests about 10 months ago: 5 ECGs, 3 Echoes, and 1 TMT, and they all came back normal. I'm not sure what to do about these palpitations. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with this?

Question

I've been having some weird symptoms lately. A few days ago, I woke up with this chest pain and it kinda hurt when I breathed. My inhaler helped a bit, but then yesterday, my blood pressure reading at the dentist was 15074, which is way higher than my usual 120-127 for the systolic part. I'm trying to figure out if I should just make an appointment with my GP or if it's serious enough to hit up urgent care or the ER. What do you think?

Question

I'm trying to understand if a pulse pressure of 110 over 80 is considered normal for an adult, or if it's something I should be concerned about. Is that a low pulse pressure? And what steps can I take to maintain a healthy pulse pressure?
