I'm a bit concerned because my ECG results mention something called longitudinal left axis deviation. Is this a serious issue, and do you think I need any further tests or investigations?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your ECG showing longitudinal left axis deviation may indicate certain heart conditions. Further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause and severity. You may need to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In terms of medication, there is no specific drug treatment for longitudinal left axis deviation itself.

View allI'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry.

I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I had an ASD closure with a device on October 3rd, 2020, and I've been taking aspirin 75 and clopidogrel 75 every afternoon since then. Is there any issue with continuing these meds? Can I stop them? I just recovered from COVID on May 18th and have my echo report with me. Should I be aware of anything specific?
Having an ASD (atrial septal defect) device closure and taking aspirin 75 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg are standard protocols to prevent blood clots. It is crucial to continue these medications unless advised otherwise by your cardiologist. Stopping them abruptly could increase the risk of clot formation around the device. Given that you have recently recovered from COVID-19, it's even more important to follow your prescribed medication regimen as COVID-19 can increase clotting risks. Please consult your cardiologist before making any changes to your medications. They can provide individualized advice based on your current health status and recent recovery.

I'm worried about my pulse rate, which tends to be pretty high, between 100 and 120, and sometimes even hits 130 or more. I just got over dengue and noticed my pulse was between 90 and 110 during that time. Should I see a cardiologist right away, or is it okay to give my body a few days to rest first?
It is important to monitor your pulse rate closely, especially after recovering from dengue. A persistently high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying issue that may need medical attention. In your case, since your pulse rate is consistently high and has even increased after recovering from dengue, it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist sooner rather than later. The cardiologist can evaluate your condition, perform any necessary tests, and recommend appropriate treatment. It is better to address any potential concerns promptly to ensure your heart health is optimal.
