I'm really worried about left ventricular hypertrophy. Could you help me understand what this means and what kind of medications might be needed? Also, is there a way to treat or possibly reverse it?

I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

When there is no cardiac issue that could be pleuritis or costochondritis no need to worry take rest and foolow your doctors advice.

I'm really feeling anxious about my ECG results that came in today. It's showing a low PR interval of 119ms, and I'm not sure if that's something to worry about. The report mentioned Sinus Rhythm and short PR interval. My heart rate is at 90 bpm, P duration 88ms, QRS duration 114ms, QTQTc interval 320393ms. Should I be concerned and start taking medications, or is this in the normal range? Could you explain what these numbers mean? I've attached the ECG photos too.

short PR interval is abnormal.The causes include wolf parkinson white syndrome, acute stress,junctional rhythm,anchanced AV node conduction etc,Patient need not worry , no treatment is required,, It is common in pregnancy and children.
