I'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain after taking steroids. Do you know what could be causing this, and are there any remedies or things I can do to make the pain go away? I'm trying to figure out if this is something serious or if there are simple home remedies I could try.

Question

I'm trying to make sense of this ECG report. It's got me a bit worried. The vent rate is 64 BPM, PR interval is at 232 ms, Qrs duration reads 114 ms, and the QtQtc interval shows 407423. Should I be concerned about any of these numbers? Are there any changes I should be considering?

Question

Every time I get an ECG, it shows sinus tachycardia. I dont have any known heart issues, but my heart always beats faster than normal. Should I be worried about this?

Question

I'm a bit worried after my full body health check-up. The ECG and stress ECG turned out normal, but the 2D Echo showed I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. And there were some issues in my chest X-ray too. I also have diabetes and I'm on medication for that. Plus, I've got a hernia operation coming up next week. Is this something I should be seriously concerned about? Should I go see a cardiologist and a pulmonologist?
