I'm a bit worried because I have anemia and my ESR levels are raised. I generally do slow-paced walking covering an average of 45 km, but my resting heart rate seems to be in the range of 48 to 65. My last two ECG readings were 53 and 48. I'm not experiencing any fainting spells or dizziness, but is this okay and considered normal?

Your resting heart rate of 48-65 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who engage in regular physical activity like slow pace walking. Anemia and raised ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) may indicate an underlying inflammatory condition. Since you do not experience faint spells or dizziness, it is reassuring. However, it is important to further investigate the cause of anemia and raised ESR. I recommend consulting a doctor for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI'm having really bad pain in my left hand and shoulder since this morning. It's pretty severe, and I'm worried if it could be due to acidity or something related to the heart. How can I figure out what's causing it? Can you help me?
Left hand and shoulder pain can be a symptom of a heart-related issue, especially if it is severe. It is important to rule out any cardiac problems. I recommend you to take a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and visit the nearest hospital for further evaluation and treatment. This can help in case it is related to a heart problem. If the pain is due to acidity, you can take an antacid like Tums (Calcium carbonate) 500mg. But it is crucial to get a proper diagnosis to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

I experienced some pain in my left chest yesterday and remembered that I had an ECG done on December 8th. The results mentioned something about a "Non-specific T-wave abnormality." Could you help me understand what this means? I'm feeling a bit concerned about it.
Non-specific T-wave abnormalities on an ECG indicate changes in the heart's electrical activity that are not specific to any particular condition. It can be seen in various situations such as electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects, or even normal variation. It is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and medical history. For chest pain, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
