I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for the past week. I got an ECG done today, and it showed something about left axis deviation. I've attached the ECG results. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

Left axis deviation on ECG can be indicative of various underlying conditions. Given your symptoms of chest pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your symptoms. I recommend you start taking Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Additionally, you should take Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help reduce the workload on your heart and control your blood pressure. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused and worried about my latest ECG results. It showed a borderline and incomplete right bundle branch block. This wasn't even brought up when I went to the ER; I only noticed it when I looked at my test results later. Should I be concerned about it? What does it really mean for my health?

yes it is a concern immediate cardiologist opinion is required.

I've been told my HSCRP level is 10, which I know is pretty high. I'm wondering, does taking Novastat 20 help bring that level down? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Novastat 20 contains Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels. While it may have some anti-inflammatory effects, it is not specifically indicated for reducing high HS-CRP levels. To specifically target high HS-CRP levels, medications like Aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs may be more appropriate. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for the best treatment plan.

I've been noticing these small heart flutters and tiny head rushes almost every day in the early evening, and they're always really brief. I had an ECG about a year ago and everything seemed alright back then, but last night around 8 pm, I had a much more intense one while I was just sitting down, and it really caught me off guard. I'm an ex-smoker, keep myself decently fit with moderate exercise, and I'm not overweight. Should I be worried about this bigger episode, or could it be related to something specific?
