I'm taking ecospirin 75 every night at 9:30 PM, but sometimes I accidentally miss a dose. I'm worried about what could happen if I skip a day or two. Could you let me know if there would be any side effects or anything I should be aware of?

Missing a dose of ecospirin 75 (aspirin) can increase the risk of blood clots forming in your arteries, which can lead to serious conditions such as heart attack or stroke. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

I'm a bit worried about my recent ECG report, where they mentioned something about a possible arm lead reversal and an unusual P-axis. They also noted potential ectopic atrial rhythm and right axis deviation. It was marked as abnormal, and now I'm concerned about what this might mean for my health now and in the future. Could there be any serious problems I should be aware of?

In your ECG report, the interpretation suggests the possibility of arm lead reversal, an unusual P axis, a possible ectopic atrial rhythm, irregularity, right axis deviation, and an abnormal ECG. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take medications like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rhythm and prevent complications. Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I've been feeling a strange vibration in my chest after running and sometimes while I'm running. Its kind of weird and Im a bit worried. Two years back, my TMT, echo, and ECG came out normal, and I even had a CT angiogram a year ago, which was fine. My Holter monitor results were okay too. What could be causing this sensation, and should I be concerned about something else going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations or a sensation of vibration in your chest during or after running. Since your TMT, echo, ECG, CT angiogram, and Holter monitor have been normal in the past, it is less likely to be related to any structural or electrical heart issues. One possible cause could be related to increased sympathetic activity during exercise. It is important to stay hydrated and ensure you are not overexerting yourself during physical activity. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider discussing with your doctor about trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage can vary) to help control heart rate and palpitations during exercise.
