After an angiogram test, it is common to experience some pain or discomfort at the site where the procedure was done. To help reduce the pain in your hand, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area for 15-20 minutes a few times a day can help reduce swelling and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question

I'm trying to make sense of my Echo Report, and it's causing me a bit of concern. It mentions things like a normal LV with normal systolic function and no segmental wall motion abnormalities, which I think sounds good. However, what got my attention was the mention of mild PAH and a mild TR. I'm a bit worried if the fast heart rate during the test, which was likely due to my anxiety, might have affected the results and led to a possible misdiagnosis of PAH. I mean, I haven't really had any symptoms other than a brief episode of PVC and sometimes a slightly fast heart rate. My resting rate stays between 50-65 BPM. I'm hoping for a little clarity on whether these findings are something to be concerned about. Can fast heart rate really make a difference in diagnosis, or am I misunderstanding things here?

Question

I'm a bit confused and concerned about my heart health. I had an ECG that showed a myocardial infarction, but after doing 45 more ECGs, they all turned out normal. My echocardiogram is normal too, and the cardiac markers came back negative. I don't know why this happened, and it's making me anxious. The initial reason for the ECG was some giddiness I felt. Should I be worried about these results?

Question

I'm really concerned about my husband's ECG results. I've attached them for you to see. It shows sinus bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia. Could this be because he works out regularly? Do these results seem normal, or is there something we should be worried about?
