I recently used a BP machine, and it showed that I have an irregular heartbeat. I went ahead and did an ECG. Can an ECG detect any sort of irregular heartbeat? I'm a bit concerned and hoping for some clarity.

Question

I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for a little over three weeks now, and after seeing two doctors, they mentioned it might just be muscular. They had me do an ECG, which showed Sinus Bradycardia, meaning a slow heart rate. I'm getting concernedis there a chance this could be something serious?

Question

I've had a bit of a scare recently while doing the dishes. I accidentally cut my finger on a piece of glass. Initially, it seemed alright after rinsing it with water, but then things got weird. I started feeling short of breath, my head went all dizzy, and just as I grabbed a napkin for the wound, my vision went dark like I couldn't see anything. I almost collapsed but managed to lie down on my bed, and then it all just went away. Does this sound like a serious issue to you?

Question

I'm experiencing these odd palpitations when I'm trying to sleep, but as soon as I wake up and move around a bit, they stop. I've had GERD since last September, and my recent endoscopy showed a grade 2. I've been keeping up with my health; did a TMT and checked my lipid profiles, and everything was normal. No blood pressure issues either, and I quit smoking 4 or 5 years ago, though I still have a drink now and then. My echo showed a grade 2, which makes me wonder if there's something going on with my heart or if it's all related to my esophagus issues. Also, I just started meds for fatty liverUdiliv 300, Darolac, Rifaximin 400mg, and Moza Plusand my SGPT was at 109. With a weight of 100 kg and being 5'10", I'm a bit worried. Is the grade 2 thing a sign of heart trouble, or could it be from the GERD? And is it possible for the grade 2 to be reversible?
