Hello,

Since the ECG reports are not completely normal, you are suggested to get your husband a thorough cardiac check-up. He is 65 & it is better to get him physically examined & get investigations done to stay on the safer side & rule out any developing CAD.

He should get CBC, Urinalysis, ECG, Echocardiography, lipid profile, stress tests done. His treatment will depend upon the pathology detected.

If diabetic, maintain the blood sugar levels, weight management as per BMI should be done.

He should avoid addictions if any, do regular exercises, take home made nutritious food, stay away from packed, frozen food. Stay hydrated & away from anxiety & stress.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
