Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, it is possible to have heart diseases despite of normal ecg report.
You are also having strong family history of heart diseases. So we should definitely get done few more tests to rule out heart diseases in your case.
So consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Repeat ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test)
5. Coronary angiography (if required).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
But if any of the above tests show anything then start cardiac supportive drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
