Hi welcome to HCM
Your EKG report is suggestive of arrythmias.Since your cholesterol levels are hidg you definitely run the risk of coronary artery disease but at this stage you may not have blocks since your echo is normal.But anyways get Coronary angiogram by speaking to your cardiologist.Continue your medication.Monitor BP and heart rate regularly.If you have symptoms like chest pain,shortness of breath,dizziness report to emergency immediately.Restrict salt intake.Avoid snoming and alchohol.Exercise regularly.Get ECG,2D ECHO,lipid profile chest x ray for every 6months.Consut your cardiologist for expert management.
Thankyou
