I'm looking at my ECG report, and it mentions "ST-segment elevation anterior borderline." I'm not really sure what that means. Should I be worried about this? Can you explain what's going on?

The ECG report showing ST-segment elevation (anterior) indicates a potential issue with the heart's blood supply. This could be a sign of a heart attack or other cardiac problem. It is important to seek medical attention immediately for further evaluation and treatment. In such cases, medications like aspirin, nitroglycerin, and clopidogrel may be prescribed to help improve blood flow to the heart.

View allI'm 29 years old and I've been dealing with chest pain for the past week. My blood pressure is under control now, but the initial ECG was abnormal. We did a 2D echo and that came back normal. I've been prescribed medications like Nico Star, Angiplan 2.5, and Plevix. I feel like I'm too young for this kind of medication. Could you guide me on what I should do next?
It sounds like you are experiencing chest pain and have been prescribed medications for it. The medications you mentioned are: - Nico Star (Nicorandil) 2.5mg: This medication helps to widen the blood vessels and improve blood flow to the heart. The usual dose is 2.5mg twice daily. - Angiplan (Amlodipine) : This medication is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). The usual dose is 5mg once daily. - Plavix (Clopidogrel): This medication helps to prevent blood clots. The usual dose is 75mg once daily. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and continue taking the medications as prescribed. These medications are commonly used to manage chest pain and other heart conditions, regardless of age. If you have any concerns about the medications or their side effects, please discuss them with your healthcare provider.

I've been dealing with heart anxiety since 2011 and had a bunch of tests done back in 2015. Everything seemed normal then but recently, I got an echo done in August that showed mild MRTR grade 1 DD. I also did some ECGs and they showed issues likely because of a fast heart rate or tachycardia. The doctor suggested a stress echo and I went through that last week. Could you take a look at the report? I'm a bit worried because my tests were normal in 2015 and now there's something going on. What do you think?
You have a history of heart anxiety since 2011 and have undergone multiple tests, including an echo in August which showed mild mitral regurgitationtricuspid regurgitation grade 1 and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. After experiencing issues with fast heart rate tachycardia on recent ECGs, your doctor suggested a stress echo which you have completed. It would be helpful to review the report to provide a more accurate recommendation. Please provide the details of the stress echo report for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing heart palpitations and my heart beats faster sometimes along with chest discomfort, all this in the past six months or so. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT and they all came back normal. My blood pressure at home is usually below 12085, but when I go to the doctor's office, it shoots up to 13090 and sometimes even 150100. Should I be worried about this difference in blood pressure readings, and could it be linked to the palpitations I'm feeling?
Since six months some time feel heart palpitation and beat faster and chest discomfort. I have done ecg echo tmt everything normal. Bp also below 12085 at home But doctor clinic always 13090 some time 150100. It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations and chest discomfort despite normal results on your ECG, echo, and TMT tests. Your blood pressure readings are also slightly elevated at the doctor's clinic. In such cases, your symptoms may be related to anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage: 25-50mg once daily) to help with the palpitations and chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial.
