What Does The EKG Reports Indicate?
Question: Can you please tell me what the ekg reading means???
Brief Answer:
This is a normal ECG
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
although the automated diagnosis points out some diagnoses, the ECG you've uploaded is not abnormal. Slight deviations from normality (such as in lead V1) have to do with the electrode location which depends on the operator of the ECG device (the electrode is supposed to be placed in a certain location but most of the times it is approximately placed somewhere near the right location).
What was the reason you had this ECG done? Do you have any medical history?
If you're otherwise healthy (no hypertension, etc) then consider this ECG absolutely normal.
I hope I've helped!
If you'd like more details, please contact me again.
Kind Regards!

Well my mother did have pulminary hypertention. That is not why I took it. I have a little high blood pressure so the doctor suggested it and then I got those results. I have had this dry cough and hoarce voice but I run 5 miles a day no problem.
Brief Answer:
Please give me the details
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
please tell me what "a little high blood pressure" means to you.
First of all, arterial hypertension needs treatment if you do have it. And having arterial hypertension in a young age is a good reason to search for secondary hypertension.
Young men may have a somewhat elevated systolic blood pressure with a normal diastolic blood pressure. This poses no problem to the health, but it needs assessment.
I'll be waiting for your input.

The first tI'm was 130 over 90 then it was 130 over 80
Brief Answer:
Everything is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
130/90 and 130/80 are both normal readings and you shouldn't worry about them. Your ECG is also normal and since no serious medical history exists, I suggest you only do a regular (every 2-3 years while under 35 years old) check-up unless something comes up.
Living a healthy life (healthy diet, exercise, normal body weight) is a great way to care for your health and this is my advice to you.
If you'd like further clarifications, please let me know.
Kind Regards!

Great and do yoou think the chest pain and cough is related to anxiety?
Brief Answer:
Not related to the ECG
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
you haven't mentioned chest pain.
Cough and hoarse voice may have many possible explanations, including infectious and allergic causes. A heart problem that causes cough and chest pain wouldn't allow you to run 5 miles!
Chest pain in a healthy young individual that is capable of physical activity of this intensity is rarely due to heart disease. Since you've had this problem, this is good that you've done the ECG. An echo would be helpful too.
Kind Regards!

Yea , but the ekg looks normal though? ??
Brief Answer:
Yes it does
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
your ECG has a marginal QRS axis but after taking into account your history and the actual readings, I believe this shouldn't worry you. Doing an echo would be helpful, as I've already pointed out.

What does qrs mean and why could that be
Brief Answer:
Please read the full explanation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Q, R and S are naming conventions used in the ECG. Q is a specific type of electrical wave. R and S are electrical waves too.
The electrodes collect signals from various angles of the heart.
The sum of the signals make up the axis. The axis may have various angles ranging from -30 to +90 degrees. Your axis is close to -30. Axis deviations may signify heart problems.
Your ECG poses no worries.
Kind Regards!

Great and why did it come up consistent with pulminary disease, rvh or normal? Last question I promise!
Brief Answer:
Automated diagnoses can sometimes be erroneous or misleading
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
automated diagnoses cannot be relied upon. They are useful for the untrained personnel (that usually record the ECGs). Perhaps this has to do with the marginal axis that I've mentioned. I don't know!
You can try an internet search for ECGs of athletes. I'm sure you'll find your ECG somewhere!
In any case, since you mentioned arterial hypertension and your diastolic reading was also marginal (and your ECG axis is marginal) I suggest you do an echo (an ultrasound scan of the heart) which is the best way to assess the heart structure and functionality. This is not an urgent test, so you don't have to worry about it or hurry!
And please don't worry about asking questions. I'm glad to help whenever I can!
Kind Regards!

Thank you again! i was just really worried about the diagnosis when i saw since my mother suffered from that disease. The doctor thought it was normal as well, but suggested to see a caridioligist anyway. however what you have stated in these series of answers really puts my mind at ease. I actually just went for a nice 2 mile run.
thank you doctor!
thank you doctor!
