I'm trying to make sense of some health concerns and could use a bit of guidance. I recently had an abnormal ECG that showed RBBB with sinus tachycardia, and my CT angiogram revealed 0 calcium deposits. But I'm still feeling some discomfort in my chest and experiencing breathlessness. Could I still have some kind of heart problem even with these results?

- Despite the absence of calcium deposits on the CT angiogram, it is still possible to have a cardiovascular issue. Given your symptoms and abnormal ECG findings, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend starting treatment with a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the sinus tachycardia and chest discomfort. 2) The chest discomfort and breathlessness you are experiencing may be related to your cardiac condition. In addition to the beta-blocker, you can also take Aspirin (81mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and management plan.

View allI'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?

I've been dealing with some heart issues after my open heart surgery in 2016 for ASD closure. Lately, I've noticed that my resting heart rate at night sometimes drops below 55, and it feels like my heart might be skipping a beat now and then. Although my 2D Echo results are normal aside from a Grade I diastolic dysfunction, every time I do an ECG at the clinic, it shows a high heart rate but with a sinus rhythm. I've been on Seloken XL 50 every morning and Telmisartan 20mg for the past month, and my doctor wants me to continue for another three months, saying it's just anxiety. I'm kind of worried, though, about whether there's anything concerning with the low heart rate. What should I do?
