Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Thank you for your question. Welcome to HCM. I carefully read your query.

Well, not only occasionally, but often there are artefacts in the EKG, and we, doctors, ignore the findigns. This is true, because there are usually artefacts found in an EKG.

I was hoping to find out about your age, but no information whatsoever. Although I do not posess this information, I would be happy to tell you that even when there are pathological findings in an EKG, they should at least be present in two adjacent leads, or in four sporadic leads.

Also can you please tell me what actually led you all the way to ER ? What's wrong ??

Therefore, I would advice you that there is nothing to worry about.

I hope my answer is helpful. I am happy to help, if you have follow-up questions.

Regards,
Dr. Meriton

Brief Answer:
The doctor is not wrong

Detailed Answer:
Hi again. Welcome back to HCM dear..

I share my opinion with your doctor's: there is nothing to worry about. Problems with the heart belong to the old population. If anything would be wrong the EKG would show it. Even of the heart rate was fast, it is purely from the psychological stress.

It happens to me, as well. I hope this is helpful.

Please close the discussion and rate the answer.

Brief Answer:
You shoild not be worried

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.

I carefully viewed your report. There is nothing to worry about and I continue to have the opinion of the original answer. If there was something wrong, it should have been shown in at least two adjacent EKG leads, or more than three non-adjacent leads.

I hope to have been of help. If you have more EKG reports, please send them to me so I can compare the current one with the others.
