I'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed a short PR interval of 109. I'm not experiencing any symptoms right now, but Im worried if this could lead to any future health problems. Should I be worried about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Short PR interval on ECG can be a sign of an abnormal electrical pathway in the heart. This can sometimes lead to a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which may increase the risk of certain heart rhythm problems. Since you have no symptoms currently, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. In case of any symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, you should consult a cardiologist. However, for now, no specific treatment is needed.

View allI'm trying to figure out what's going on with this persistent chest pain. I did a TMT on May 25 as advised by my doctor, and it turned out negative, but the pain in the middle of my chest just won't go away. I dont smoke or drink and there's no family history of heart disease. I've been dealing with asthma for the last two years. The pain doesn't increase when I walk or run, but it's really starting to make me anxious and it's even affecting my sleep. What can I do to alleviate this pain?
As per your description, it seems like you are experiencing chest pain despite a negative TMT result. Since you have a history of asthma and the pain is not worsening with physical activity, it may not be directly related to your heart. To help alleviate the chest pain and manage your anxiety, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like paracetamol (e.g., Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can try using a heating pad on the area of discomfort and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help with your anxiety and improve sleep. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm 21 and I've noticed my pulse rate is higher than usual, but my ECG came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatment should I be looking at?
Your pulse rate is too high. At your age of 21 with a normal ECG, a high pulse rate could be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, dehydration, or certain medications. To lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily, but it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.
