I've been experiencing some chest pressure and tightness for just a couple of seconds. I managed to take an ECG from a single lead and I'm just wondering if it looks normal to you. I had a treadmill test, echo, and ECG all last week and everything seemed fine. Should I be considering any other tests?

based on your description, it is important to consider the context of your symptoms and previous tests. Since you have a history of chest pressure and have already undergone a TMT, Echo, and ECG which were normal, it is reassuring. However, a single-lead ECG may not provide a comprehensive assessment. It would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Tab. Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues.

Question

I've noticed my heart rate goes up to 110 or 120 beats per minute when I eat breakfast or lunch, and then it drops back to around 90 afterwards. I'm keeping track of this with my smart band. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm really relieved that my husband's chest X-ray came back normal, but I'm a bit concerned about something mentioned in the report. It says there are mild vascular markings prominent bilaterally. What does that actually mean? Should I be worried about this at all?

Question

I'm a 26-year-old male, around 78 kg, and about 5'9". During my UPSC physical test, the doctor mentioned hearing a slight heart murmur through the stethoscope. I went through an echo test and an ECG, but they didn't find anything specific. I passed the test, but I'm kind of worried about what this could mean for my future. My recent cholesterol levels are 195 total, 96 LDL, 35 VLDL, and 39 HDL. The echo test showed that my IV septum is 11. Should I be concerned about this murmur, and is there something I should be doing to address it? Your guidance would be really helpful.
