Question

I'm really worried about my brother. He had COVID-19 a few months back, and he's still dealing with some tough symptoms like a racing heart rate, tremors, tinnitus, and fatigue. Hes only 30 and was super healthy and fit before all this. His echo was normal a while ago, but the cardiologist did mention arrhythmia back then. Lately, he's been feeling chest pain just from walking or climbing stairs, and his heart rate shoots up to 150-180. It's affecting his daily life a lot post-COVID. We got an NT Pro BNP test done, and it came back at 160. Could this be an early sign of heart failure? Should we look into more tests or anything else?

Question

Today my mom's been having chest pains, so we got an ECG done. The results mentioned an abnormal R wave progression with early transition. I'm not quite sure what that means or how concerned we should be. Can you explain it to me and let me know if it's anything serious?

Question
