I'm 22 years old and my weight is 112. I recently had an ECG done because I was feeling anxious, and it shows PACs with sinus rhythm. I'm really worried about what this means. Can you help me understand if everything's okay with my ECG?

Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) with a sinus rhythm can be a common finding and are often benign, especially in younger individuals. They can occur due to stress, anxiety, caffeine, or other stimulants. Given that you were feeling anxiety at the time of the ECG, it is possible that this contributed to the PACs. However, it's important to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues and to get personalized advice. They may recommend further monitoring or lifestyle adjustments to help manage your symptoms.

I'm getting these episodes of chest pain and heaviness on my left side that go down to my shoulder and arm, and they last a really long time, like more than a day. They happen randomly without any exertion, and it's scary. I had an ECG during a panic attack, and it showed a heart rate of 130 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but I was discharged after 12 hours. Another time, I felt that chest heaviness with a burning sensation again, and the echocardiography came out normal. The doctor said there's nothing to worry about cardiac-wise, but the anxiety and fear are hard to shake off. Should I consider a stress test or something, even though my ECG was normal at that rate?

patient needs psychiatric opinion for his anxiety.

156 is definitely abnormal visit Cardiologist for appropriate management
