I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal T wave, and now they've told me to see a cardiologist. I'm not sure how serious this is. Should I be worried, and what should my next steps be?

In ECG, an abnormal T wave can indicate various heart conditions. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as beta-blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management are also important. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

I've noticed this sharp pain in my chest right after I've had lunch, and it's happened a couple of times now. The pain only sticks around for about 30 seconds, but it's like someone's pinching my heart. I also realized I didn't drink any water after eating. Could this be connected to not drinking water, or is it something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of heartburn or acid reflux. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
