Brief Answer:
Report is essentially normal...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through your reports attached and my comment is that they are essentially normal. Yes, there is a mention of deep Q wave in lead 3 of ECG (QS in lead 3); however such waves can be normal variants especially when all other leads are normal. So I don't think we should be bothered about it.

At this point, I would like to know about your medical history. Have you had severe chest pain in the past? Is there a family history of heart attacks?

Thank you for quick reply.
I don't think I had ever sever chest pain in the past.
My father had hypertension and use to take regular blood pressure pills. When my father was going through Stem Cell Transplants for Multiple Myeloma Treatment, he had suffered hart attack.

My elder brother also has hypertension and he takes medication.
