I've been dealing with hypertension for the past two years, and after taking medication, my blood pressure is finally normal. But now my ECG shows a nonspecific T-wave abnormality. Should I be worried about this? My local doctor mentioned it's normal, but I'm still a bit anxious about what it could mean.

View allMy brother has been feeling some discomfort on the left side of his chest, and the doctor said his ECG is normal, just showing sinus tachycardia. He's really anxious and tends to worry about his health a lot, especially after recovering from COVID. We're wondering about getting an echo done, but the doctor suggested waiting a month. Is it okay to wait that long, or should we consider doing it sooner given his anxiety and constant thinking about his health?
Can delay the echo testing for up to one month after the ECG. It is important to monitor his symptoms during this time. Given his history of anxiety and hypochondria, it may be beneficial for him to consult with a mental health professional to address his concerns and manage his anxiety. It is also important for him to continue following up with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance."

I'm dealing with some pretty bad acid reflux after eating heavy masala foods. I've got this weird dhada sensation in my chest, so I got an ECG done. The results said something about a left axis and poor R progression. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? Would love some advice on what to do next!
It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux symptoms and chest discomfort. The ECG findings of Left axis poor R progression may indicate certain heart conditions, but it is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and overall health status. To address your acid reflux symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, you can take Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for immediate relief. It is also recommended to avoid spicy and heavy meals, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed my grandma's pulse tends to skip beats every now and then. She's in her eighties and seems pretty frail. Should I be worried about this?
Skipped pulses can be concerning, especially in older adults. It is important to have your grandma evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, she may benefit from taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, she should ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance.
