Brief Answer:
Please see detailed advise.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir
The ECG shows normal sinus rhythm with heart rate of ~75 bpm, normal PR interval, normal QRS duration, normal axis, normal P waves, normal progression of QRS complex in precordial leads, minimal T wave inversion in aVL, no significant ST/Q wave changes.
Although the ECG does not show any marked changes, a Single ECG has limited value in diagnosing or ruling out a cardiac condition. Since your friend is symptomatic he must see a physician in emergency room (ER). If his clinical examination is also normal and his symptoms do not appear alarming to the treating doctor, only then the ECG has its relevance. Any ECG has to be interpreted in light of symptoms and clinical findings. An ECG is reassuring only if clinical symptoms are not alarming and examination is normal.
Similarly a single high value of blood pressure can not be used to take a decision.
Feel free to discuss further if there is any other issue.
Sincerely
