I've recently had an ECG done, and it mentioned something called sinus arrhythmia. Just wondering, is this a big deal? Should I be making an appointment with a cardiologist to get it checked out further?

ECG report showing sinus arrhythmia is usually not a cause for concern, especially if you are not experiencing any symptoms. Sinus arrhythmia is a normal variation in heart rate that occurs with breathing. However, if you have any underlying heart conditions or if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, it is advisable to consult a Cardiologist for further evaluation and management. No specific medication is required for sinus arrhythmia.

Left ventricular hypertrophy or lvh means that your heart muscles are thickened and it can be a congenital problem in some individuals or It can develop overtime because of constant high blood pressure or being overweight..

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.
