I'm a little worried because my Perfusion Index (PI) is consistently over 20, sometimes hitting 21, when I check my oxygen saturation with my oximeter. My saturation level is normal, between 95 and 99, and so is my heart rate. But I'm not sure if a high PI is indicative of any serious health conditions, or if it's a sign that the oximeter might be inaccurate. Could you provide some guidance on whether a high PI should be a concern, or if it's something I shouldn't worry too much about?

I'm having some health anxiety these past few months, especially about my heart, like cardiophobia, I guess. Because of this, I've been experiencing pain in my left hand, from my arm down to my fingers. I'm really worried and can't help but wonder, is this just anxiety causing it, or is there something else going on?
Health anxiety, or cardiophobia, can indeed cause physical symptoms like pain in the left arm, as anxiety can manifest with muscle tension and heightened sensitivity to bodily sensations. Since you have had normal cardiac tests and evaluations, it's likely that anxiety is contributing to your symptoms. It's important to address your anxiety through appropriate methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with tools to manage your anxiety and reduce the physical symptoms you're experiencing.

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG results. It says I have a normal sinus rhythm but also an incomplete right bundle branch block and that its borderline ECG. Is this something serious I should be concerned about? I've done an ECG twice now, and I'm attaching both for your review. Could you help me understand what this means for my health?
