Today my mom's been having chest pains, so we got an ECG done. The results mentioned an abnormal R wave progression with early transition. I'm not quite sure what that means or how concerned we should be. Can you explain it to me and let me know if it's anything serious?

Question

my mom had rheumatic heart disease and got a 17mm St Jude mechanical valve replaced in 2017 but now she has severe PAH and eosinophilia along with good LV function - should we be worried about how the valve is functioning or could these new issues be related to her past surgery

Question

I'm Rao, 29, working in IT support in Chennai. I recently got an ECG report with some concerning results: Sinus Rhythm, Left Atrial Enlargement, RSR pattern in V1-V2, slight ST depression, and mild left axis deviation. Should I be worried about these findings? Can they be managed with mild medication or meditation, or is something more serious going on? Would really appreciate your insights.

Question

I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?
