I'm 30 and just had an osteoma removed from my forehead, and right before the surgery, they did an ECG. The results said "borderline ECG" and mentioned something about "widespread ST elevation." Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried about these results?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Borderline ECG findings can be normal variants in some individuals, but when combined with widespread ST elevation, it may indicate a potential issue with the heart's electrical activity. This could be due to various reasons such as myocardial injury, pericarditis, or even an electrolyte imbalance. It is important to further evaluate this finding with additional tests like cardiac enzymes, echocardiogram, and possibly a stress test. Depending on the underlying cause, medications like aspirin, beta-blockers, or nitroglycerin may be prescribed. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

View allI've got triglycerides at 290, and I'm currently on Rosave F 10 every day. Any idea how long it might take to get down to normal levels?
The medication you are taking, Rosave F 10, contains Rosuvastatin 10mg. It is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels, including triglycerides. On average, it may take several weeks to a few months to see a significant decrease in triglyceride levels. However, individual responses to medication can vary. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider and monitor your triglyceride levels regularly.

I'm really confused and a bit anxious about this chest tightness that happens whenever I lie down flat or stretch my left hand. It's been going on for about three months. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said it's probably due to poor posture and muscle spasm. Then I saw a cardiologist, had all the tests like ECG, echocardiogram, TMT, and even checked my cholesterol and BP. Everything was normal except for my cholesterol which was a bit high at 196, and LDL at 121.8. The cardiologist said I don't have heart issues and just need to change my lifestyle and lose some weight. But I wanted a second opinion, so I visited another cardiologist and even without any new tests, he said the same thing that everything's normal. Still, I feel this tightness at night and sometimes it makes me sweat and I get really scared thinking it might be a heart attack. When I went back to the cardiologist, he reassured me again. So, should I keep doing ECGs every time I feel this tightness or maybe see a pulmonologist? Why does this keep happening if everything's supposed to be normal?
since your age is not too much i suggest reduce your anxiety related to heart attack. try doing some exercise

I've been going through my routine check-up results, and my ECG report mentions sinus tachycardia with some changes in the ST-T section. I'm a 29-year-old guy, and aside from some allergy issues, I don't have any chronic health problems. Should I be worried about these results? Is it considered normal, or is it something I need to look deeper into?
Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate that is often a response to exercise, stress, or illness. In your case, since you have mentioned that you have no known chronic diseases other than allergy problems, it is important to consider other factors that may be causing the sinus tachycardia. The changes in the ST-T segment could be indicative of various conditions, such as myocardial ischemia or electrolyte imbalances. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of beta-blockers such as Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Additionally, monitoring your electrolyte levels and ensuring proper hydration may also be beneficial.
