I'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. The report shows a PR of 102 and I'm not sure if that's within the normal range. I've also attached the ECG here for you to take a look. Could you let me know if everything seems okay? We're also considering cataract surgery, so I wanted to check if this ECG is fine before moving forward with that.
An ECG with a PR interval of 102 milliseconds is within the normal range. As for cataract surgery, it is important to assess your overall health condition before proceeding. Please consult with your ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for cataract surgery.

I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?
Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.
