Question 1

I've been smoking for the last 5 years, and lately, Im noticing this weird pain in the center of my chest. It doesn't bother me when I'm just sitting or standing still, but if I stretch my arms or put any pressure on my chest, I get this sharp pinching feeling inside. Even just warming up before a workout or sleeping in one position can trigger it. There's no fatigue, coughing up blood, or anxiety. Do you think it's something serious, or should I just not worry about it too much?

Accepted Answer

Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm really worried about some readings I found on my report. It says HR82 BPM, QRS DUR99 ms, QTc interval is 411 ms, and PR interval is 122 ms. My resting heart rate is listed as 724 ms QT, and something called QTc 85 QT RR 48 PQRST at zero degrees. I don't quite understand what all these mean. Should I be concerned about my heart health with these numbers?

Accepted Answer

The information you provided indicates an ECG report showing a heart rate of 82 beats per minute, QRS duration of 99 milliseconds, QT interval of 350 milliseconds, QTc interval of 411 milliseconds, PR interval of 122 milliseconds, RR interval of 724 milliseconds, QTcQT ratio of 85%, and QTRR ratio of 48%. The P wave, QRS complex, and T wave are all within normal limits at 0 degrees. Based on the ECG findings, there are no specific medications recommended. It would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

Question 3

I'm really worried after finding out from my CT coronary angiography that I have soft plaque in the proximal LAD causing moderate narrowing, and there's bridging in the mid LAD. Thankfully, my heart scan and 2D echo are normal. But now I'm kind of stressed about what precautions I should be taking and what medicines might help. I just feel unsure about the next steps and would love some guidance. What should I do to manage this situation?

Accepted Answer

Its understandable to feel concerned, but with your CT angiography showing mild narrowing (60%) and normal 2D echo, it suggests your heart function is still intact. For now, focus on lifestyle changes such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and medications like aspirin or statins as prescribed by your doctor to prevent further plaque buildup. Stay in close contact with your cardiologist for regular check-ups and guidance.

I'm a bit puzzled because my blood pressure reading came out to be 9864, which seems really low. I don't feel dizzy or anything, and I don't have any underlying health issues. Do you have any idea why my BP might be on the lower side? Also, what can I do to help improve it?

At your age thats common its not low no need to worry consume balanced diet and do regular Physical activity you will be fine
