View allI'm trying to understand something from an ECG report I received. It says "ECG within normal limits, sinus rhythm, no ST T changes." What does all this actually mean? Is there anything here that I need to be concerned about or pay attention to? Could you please explain it to me?
ECG within Normal Limits means that the electrical activity of your heart is normal. Sinus rhythm indicates that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm. No ST T changes suggest that there are no signs of heart muscle damage or inadequate blood supply to the heart. This is a good result and indicates that your heart is functioning well. It is important to continue with a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to maintain a healthy heart. If you have any specific concerns or symptoms, it is always recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing arm pain that started in my left arm, but now it's also in my right arm. I've got this weird center chest pain too. I did an ECG, echo, and some blood tests, including a thyroid test about four days ago, and everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned it might be anxiety because my heart rate was really highlike 130 bpm during the ECG and my blood pressure was 15080. I've had this fear of heart issues for months, and now the symptoms seem to have gotten worse. They gave me Betanol TR 40 to try and help. Sometimes the arm pain gets really bad, but then it goes away and comes back. It feels like pins and needles, maybe like cramps. What could this be?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, which can manifest as arm pain and chest discomfort. The medication prescribed to you, Betanol TR 40, is a brand name for Propranolol. This medication can help with managing symptoms of anxiety and can also help with reducing heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Propranolol in anxiety is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of taking the medication. If you experience worsening symptoms or have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been smoking for a few years, and I've recently started feeling this mild pain in my heart, especially when I'm lying down. I'm pretty sure it's connected because I've been smoking more than usual this week. Do you think this is just a temporary thing, or could there be a more serious condition going on? Also, should I be getting any specific tests done, like a cancer screening or something? I really want to quit smoking, but I can't handle gums, and patches just don't seem to work for me. What should my next steps be?
quit smoking and do regular breathing exercises
