I'm really worried about my husband who recently had an ECG done. It mentioned something about a 'probably MI Inferior' and 'RS inversion area between V1 and V2.' I'm not sure what this means. Is this something serious that we should be concerned about, and are there any more tests we should consider?

Your husband's ECG results suggesting a possible inferior myocardial infarction (MI) with RS inversion between V1 and V2 require further evaluation. This pattern could be caused by misplacement of leads V1 and V2, which can mimic an MI. To confirm the diagnosis, additional tests such as a stress test, echocardiogram, or cardiac biomarker blood tests may be necessary. Consult a cardiologist to discuss the results and determine the best course of action.

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. Last night, her resting heart rate on the wrist was showing 5257 while she was sleeping. This morning, I checked her blood pressure with our digital home monitor and it was 95 over 86, with a heart rate of 65. Are these numbers too low, and could something be wrong? Also, how reliable is a home BP monitor for checking these things?

Question

I'm noticing that my heart starts racing whenever I eat, drink water, or even when I pass urine. It almost feels like I'm anxious all the time. I also have issues with gas and cervical spondylitis. Could these conditions be related to my increased heart rate?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?
