View allI noticed there's a break in the lines on my ECG. Is that something to worry about? Also, could you let me know if there's anything else unusual in it?
Seeing a break in the lines on an ECG can sometimes be due to a technical issue or artifact rather than a medical problem. However, it is important to have a healthcare professional review the ECG to ensure accuracy of the results. If there are any abnormal findings on your ECG, it is best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I'm feeling some pain in my left chest, right where the ribs are, just under the man breast. It gets more painful when I press that spot, but I don't have any issues with breathing. My cholesterol was borderline high in my recent health check-up, but my Echo 2D was normal about 20 days ago. The pain level is pretty low, like a 1 out of 10, but I'm just a bit worried about why it's happening. Should I be concerned? Any insights would be really helpful.
Normal, nothing to worry ok.
