I'm a little concerned about my ECG results. I did one using a portable ECG device and it says "Sinus Rhythm," but Im not sure if that means everything is actually okay. Is this considered clinically normal or should I be worried about something else?

Sinus Rhythm on ECG indicates normal heart rhythm. However, to determine if the ECG is clinically normal, other factors need to be considered such as symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. If there are no other concerning findings, the ECG can be considered normal.

View allI've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest for the last three months. It's not super painful, more like an irritation, but sometimes it feels like pinpricks and can also move to my armpit and back. I've had a 2D Echo and two TMTs, and everything came back normal, but I'm still feeling this discomfort. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get another TMT or look into something else?
Considering your symptoms and the normal results of your previous tests, it is important to rule out acid reflux as a possible cause of your chest irritation. I recommend trying a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed, but repeating the TMT may not be necessary at this point.

Is there any difference between sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia? I'm trying to understand if they are the same thing or if they affect the heart in different ways. It's a bit confusing to me, and I'm worried about what these terms mean for heart health. Could you explain it in simple terms?
Sinus arrhythmia and sinus tachycardia are different conditions. Sinus arrhythmia is a normal variation in heart rate that occurs with breathing - the heart rate increases with inhalation and decreases with exhalation. It is usually harmless and does not require treatment. On the other hand, sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart rate is faster than normal, typically above 100 beats per minute. In some cases, sinus tachycardia may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and treatment may be necessary. If you are experiencing symptoms of either condition, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
