View allI'm 26 and have been experiencing chest pain for about a month and a half now. I checked my ECG, and it came back normal, but I'm still worried. Sometimes it feels like a pressing sensation, and other times it feels like something's moving inside my chest, shifting from the middle to the top, or from the left side to the middle. What could this be?

I wanted to get some clarity on my ECG results. I'm a bit concerned about terms like "sinus rhythm," "short PR interval," and "slight STT abnormality." The data mentions stuff like P duration, PR interval, and QRS durationwhat do these mean for my heart health? And should I be worried about the diagnosis info or the numbers related to things like the PQRST axis? I'd appreciate any guidance on whether my report is looking good or if there are things I need to watch out for.
Based on your ECG report, your heart rate is 97bpm which is within normal range. The P duration, PR interval, and QRS duration are all within normal limits. The QT interval is slightly prolonged, but the corrected QT interval (QTc) is within normal range. The PQRST axis values are also within normal range. The RV5SV1 and RV6SV2 amplitudes are within normal limits as well. The diagnosis information indicates sinus rhythm, a short PR interval, and slight ST-T abnormality in leads II and aVF. Sinus rhythm is a normal heart rhythm, a short PR interval can be benign in some cases, and slight ST-T abnormalities may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Overall, based on the information provided in your ECG report, it does not appear to be a concerning report for your heart. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation of the results.

I'm curious about whether there's a connection between having a hysterectomyspecifically when the ovaries are still healthyand the potential for heart-related issues down the line. Can you shed some light on this for me?
The removal of the uterus, known as a hysterectomy, is not directly correlated with an increased risk of heart-related diseases in the future, as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. However, there may be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease if both the uterus and ovaries are removed before natural menopause, due to the sudden decrease in estrogen levels. If the ovaries are intact and functioning normally after a hysterectomy, the risk of heart-related diseases is not significantly increased.
