I'm a bit worried because my ECG showed a small variation, and now my doctor wants me to have an ECHO done. The thing is, I'm in a remote area, and getting to the city for the ECHO will take some effort. Do you think it's okay if I wait and get the ECHO done in about 10 days, or should I try to do it sooner?

If your doctor has recommended an ECHO after observing a small variation in your ECG, it is important to follow up with the ECHO test as advised. However, if you are in a remote location and unable to travel to the city for the ECHO immediately, it should be okay to schedule the ECHO after 10 days. Make sure to keep in touch with your doctor regarding any changes in your symptoms during this period.

I'm experiencing some pain under my left collarbone since this evening. I've been dealing with acid reflux and started taking a proton pump inhibitor since Sunday. That day, I felt chills in my arms and chest, and my doctor said it might be anxiety and gave me a prescription for an antidepressant, but I'm not taking it yet. I had an ECG done on Sunday as well, and I'll include the report with my question. Also, I've got a cholesterol level of 124. Should I be concerned about this pain?
