I'm really anxious about my ECG report. It mentioned a possible lateral infarct with age undetermined. What exactly does that mean? Could it indicate I had a heart attack at some point? I'm confused because my cardiologist said the ECG was normal. Can you help clarify this for me?

I'm kind of worried because I'm experiencing this heaviness in my chest and sometimes have trouble breathing. Plus, there's this pain that hits suddenly, not all the time, but it can come out of nowhere. Should I be concerned?

The intermittent heaviness in your chest, breathing difficulties, and sudden pains may indicate underlying conditions such as angina, acid reflux, asthma, or anxiety attacks; to determine the cause, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly imaging tests like an echocardiogram or a chest X-ray.

Can an ECHO test actually detect Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension even if everything else in my health seems normal? I'm really curious to know if there's any way to treat or reverse it if it's just identified as mild.
