Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
and thank you for asking HCM!

Your ECG report seems within the normal parameters. However as a rule ECG must be checked and confirmed by a specialist in internal medicine or cardilogist. Can you upload the ECG image for me to check it by myself.

I want to remind you that a normal ECG doesn't necessary show that you haven't a disease. It should be interpreted on the settings of other clinical data (chest pain, shortness of breath ect.)

If you experienced one of this symptoms you should run other specific tests for proper diagnosis.

Hope it answered to your query!
