I'm feeling really confused about something. My ECG says I have LAD, but I'm not experiencing any symptoms, and both my echo and TMT came back normal. I haven't been diagnosed with LAH, BLBB, or LVH. So, why would I have LAD? I've attached my ECG if that helps. Can someone explain what's going on here?

Based on the information provided and the attached ECG, it appears that you have been diagnosed with Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery involvement. In this case, it is important to focus on managing your cardiovascular health. I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further artery blockage. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.

View allMy mom has an artery blockage of 60-70% in just one artery. The doctor mentioned using a stent. Are there other treatments for her heart besides a stent?
For a 60-70% artery blockage, the placement of a stent is a common and effective treatment option. However, depending on the specific circumstances and location of the blockage, your mother's doctor may consider other alternatives such as medication therapy or coronary artery bypass surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the most appropriate treatment plan.

I'm experiencing some pain in my left chest and left hand for the last couple of days, and it feels like it might be related to gas. Can you suggest any remedies or should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gastric symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I've been having a bit of a worry for a while now. I'm 21 and recently went through getting an ECG done a few times, around 5 to 6 times at different hospitals, but none of them could get a proper reading. It's strange because I've never had any heart issues before. The doctors keep mentioning that my pulse rate seems to always be on the higher side. I'm stressing out because this issue made me fail medical exams for some government jobs. What could be causing this? Any suggestions on what steps I should take next? It's really starting to get to me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called sinus tachycardia, which is when your heart rate is consistently elevated. To help manage this, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.
