I'm a bit concerned after my recent doctor visit. I had some left shoulder pain and my hands felt a bit numb after traveling, so I went to get checked out. The doctor had me do an ECG and mentioned that the QRS interval was 119ms, along with some other abnormalities, then suggested an echo just to be sure. The echo results seemed alright, showing no PAH or RWAH, and my LV systolic and diastolic function looks fine with an EF of 68. They didn't find any clots or vegetation, and the doctor said my echo is fine, but I'm still worried about the QRS interval on my ECG. Should I be looking deeper into this, or is it nothing too concerning?

The ECG report showing a QRS interval of 119ms may indicate a slight delay in the electrical conduction through the heart's lower chambers. This could be due to various reasons such as conduction abnormalities or certain heart conditions. However, since your screening echo came back normal with no significant findings, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To alleviate your left shoulder pain and numbness in hands, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can also consider using topical pain relief creams such as diclofenac gel for localized relief. It is always advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management based on your individual health condition.

I've been experiencing this sharp pain and tightness in my chest, and it sometimes feels more like stabbing. It's not constant - sometimes it's there, sometimes not. It's weird because I also feel it around my back. On top of that, I'm always tired and feel drowsy. Should I be concerned about this?

I'm a bit worried because even after testing negative for COVID, my pulse rate is still high, around 103-104. Yesterday, I started feeling some pain in my left arm, so I got an ECG done. It showed something called sinus tachycardia, which I guess isn't normal. My blood pressure is 14090, and I've started taking Ecospirin 75mg. Is this something I should be concerned about?
After recovering from COVID-19, experiencing a continuous elevated pulse rate (sinus tachycardia) and pain in your left arm warrants attention. An abnormal ECG and a BP reading of 14090 mmHg suggest that further evaluation is necessary. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors, including lingering effects of the virus, dehydration, stress, or other underlying conditions. Ecospirin (aspirin) 75 mg can help reduce the risk of clotting, but it's crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider to identify the cause of your symptoms and ensure appropriate management. Additional tests such as blood work, echocardiogram, or a Holter monitor might be needed. Please consult your healthcare provider promptly for a comprehensive evaluation.
