my cardiologist said my ekg showed a borderline ecg when i went for bariatric surgery clearance - what does that actually mean and is it something to worry about
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A "borderline ECG" means that the results are not entirely normal but also not clearly abnormal. It may reflect minor, nonspecific changes that aren’t necessarily serious. In the context of surgery clearance, your cardiologist likely didn’t find anything concerning enough to delay the procedure but may want to monitor your heart health. It’s best to follow up if you develop symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.

View allI've been on Axcer 90 along with Aspirin 75 since September 2018 until September 2019. After that, from September 2019 to May 2020, I switched to Axcer 60 with Aspirin 75 mg. I stopped taking Axcer 60 about 20 days ago, and now I'm feeling a bit uneasy in my chest sometimes at night. I had a heart attack back in September 2018 and I've had a preventative stress echo twice in the last 18 months, which came out fine. Is it possible that this uneasiness is some kind of withdrawal effect from stopping Axcer?
It is possible to experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping Axcser (clopidogrel) abruptly, especially after long-term use. Symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, or palpitations. Since you have a history of heart attack, it is important to consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. To manage any potential withdrawal symptoms, your doctor may recommend gradually tapering off the Axcser dosage instead of stopping it suddenly. Additionally, they may provide alternative medications or adjust your treatment plan to ensure the best outcomes for your heart health.

I've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I recently got my routine health checkup results back, and the ECG report mentioned something about "ST-segment elevation lateral" and "borderline ECG." I'm not really sure what that means, and it's got me a bit worried. Could you help me understand if this is something serious or just a minor issue?
ST-segment elevation on an ECG can indicate a potential heart issue, such as myocardial infarction or heart attack. The lateral aspect refers to the left side of the heart. A borderline ECG means that the findings are not definitively abnormal but may warrant further investigation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.
