I'm a bit worried after getting my ECG results back. It mentions something about 'Borderline T abnormalities' in the interior leads, and I'm really not sure what that means. Do you think this might indicate a heart problem? I've got my ECG results attached, if that helps.

Borderline T abnormalities in the interior leads of an ECG can indicate a possible minor issue with the electrical activity in the heart. It may not necessarily indicate a serious problem, but it is important to monitor and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In some cases, it could be a normal variant for some individuals. There is no specific medication required for Borderline T abnormalities on an ECG. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol consumption to support heart health. Regular follow-ups with your doctor to monitor your heart condition are also recommended.

View allI'm 29 years old and I've noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 60. However, sometimes when I check it in the morning right after getting up, it shows numbers like 46 to 48. During a 2 km run, my heart rate shoots up to 160 or 170, and while walking, it's around 90 to 120. My ECG results have all come back normal, so Im wondering if my low resting heart rate is something I should be concerned about. Is this normal?
A resting heart rate between 50 to 60 beats per minute is considered normal for adults, especially for individuals who are physically active. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath along with the low heart rate, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Since your ECG reports are normal, the low resting heart rate is likely due to your good physical fitness level. During exercise, it is normal for the heart rate to increase significantly, as you mentioned reaching 160-170 beats per minute while running. This response is expected and shows that your heart is able to adapt and meet the increased demand for oxygen during physical activity. Overall, based on the information provided, your heart rate variations seem to be within normal ranges for someone who is physically active and with normal ECG results.

I'm really worried right now because my mom's been having chest pains. We took her to the doctor, and after doing the echo and ECG tests, they found out her ejection fraction is low, with an LVEF of 40-45. The doctor said we should wait 5 days for an angiography test, but I'm anxious. Do you think it's safe to wait that long or should we do it sooner?
Yes, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendation to undergo the angiography test. This test will provide more information about the blood flow to the heart and help determine the best course of treatment for your mother's condition. Waiting for 5 days should not cause any harm, but it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and seek medical attention if there are any sudden changes or worsening of chest pain.

I've been having this slight pain in my left chest for the past three days and it's starting to worry me. What should I do?
This chest pain could be due to various reasons, including muscle strain, acid reflux, or even heart-related issues. However, it's important to rule out any serious conditions. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
