I'm experiencing some pain in my left arm for the past few days, and sometimes I feel it in my chest too. I decided to get an ECG done, and it mentions a short PR interval and short QT interval. Could you take a look at it and let me know what I should do next?

Based on the ECG findings of a short PR interval and short QT interval, it may indicate a potential heart condition. It is important to further evaluate this with additional tests and examinations. In the meantime, to help manage the symptoms of left arm pain and chest pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. However, it is crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate management.
