I am 52 years old, overweight, no HTN, no high cholesterol, hypothyroid w / MNG. MY ECG says sinus rhythm, minimal high -lateral repolarization disturbance, probalbly aspecific change. flat or low negative T in aVL. normal variant of ECG. but...I have had a few epsiodes of tachyicardia and lightheadedness, SOB sometimes. I go for my echo this week and see a cardiologist soon, but I want to know possibilities. I can papate an irregulate beat also.

Hello,
Seems like you do not have risk factors for coronary artery disease (I do not know your family medical history), and this is good.
I would say that cardiac disease may be present in people without risk factors.
If you were my patient, I would recommend you to do an ECG, a cardiac sonography and based on that a 24 h or more ECG Holter monitoring.
It might be atrial fibrillation, a very common cardiac arrhythmia, that need treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
