I've got some concerns about my latest ECG results. It mentioned something about abnormal R wave progression. Is that something to worry about or can it be considered normal? I've been feeling a bit out of breath when I climb about 23 stairs. What should I do about this? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

I'm currently taking Ld 1075 mg capsules and I've also been using Rosumac Gold. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT test, and all the results came back normal. Six months ago, my sugar levels were high, so I'm keeping an eye on that. My lipid profile and cholesterol levels seem normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Can you tell me if there are any side effects I should watch out for with these medications, especially since I'm a sugar patient?
