View allI'm really concerned about my father's heart condition. His report says the LVEF is 25, which I read somewhere is quite low, and theres mention of severe LV systolic dysfunction.

I'm trying to understand something from an ECG report I received. It says "ECG within normal limits, sinus rhythm, no ST T changes." What does all this actually mean? Is there anything here that I need to be concerned about or pay attention to? Could you please explain it to me?
ECG within Normal Limits means that the electrical activity of your heart is normal. Sinus rhythm indicates that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm. No ST T changes suggest that there are no signs of heart muscle damage or inadequate blood supply to the heart. This is a good result and indicates that your heart is functioning well. It is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to maintain a healthy heart. If you have any specific concerns or symptoms, it is always recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been feeling my pulse really strongly all over, like in my head and fingers, for about a year now. I went to see a doctor and he did an ECG, but it came back normal. He said it's not a disease and might just be stress. I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to make this go away. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Having a strong pulse that can be felt in various parts of the body can indeed be related to stress. To help reverse this, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation to help reduce stress levels. Additionally, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg once daily) to help lower your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a strong pulse. It's important to continue following up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
