Hi Dr

There is a family history of heart disease in my family & most members on my father's side of the family have died due to heart disease. I've been reading on causes, symptoms etc of angina & I do have many of them. Upon having an ecg it read borderline ect with possible right bundle block i think.....& something regarding arterial enlargement sorry I could not be more specific as it now 2.34 am in south africa & i am experiencing this pain....so having been on the internet i came across this site...Is it possible for me to more info before I seek more medical advice as I do not want to worry my family....My mum has high blood pressure also...when i went to the hospital my bp was 176/109 pulse 120..
Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms, family history, and your nypertension make the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease most probable.
Your ECG changes are not specefic but I suggest that you should visit a cardiologist and get your hypertension in control plus get your cardiac risk assesment done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Muhammad Adnan Iqbal
