Hello!
Welcome to - Ask a Doctor - service!
I passed carefully through your medical history and uploaded ECG; it seems to be some minor changes like QRS axis deviation, probably due to some pulmonary issues (do you have any previous history of pulmonary disease?)
As you have experienced a chest muscle pull, I would recommend discussing with your attending doctor for a careful physical exam, complete blood count, a chest X ray test and if suspicions are raised thereafter a cardiac ultrasound test.
In case of any further questions, please let me know!
Kind regards,

Can you help me understand what causes an incomplete RBBB, does anxiety cause it.
What is aspecific change means
consider ischemia - WHen checked Dr. Google, I was scared.
minor inferior repolarization disturbance, consider ischemia, or aspecific change
and the natural remedies to help fix the warnings i had on my ECG.
My Blood Pressure in 118/82 and im in good XXXXXXX walks for 5 to 6 miles a day and made some lifestyle changes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
Regarding your ECG changes, I would explain that incomplete RBBB is not related to anxiety.
Instead, it may be encountered in apparently normal individuals, or more frequently in patients with certain pulmonary disorders, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , asthma, etc.
Your past medical history of chronic pulmonary disease may be related to those minor ECG changes.
In addition, I would not give too much importance of those minor repolarization changes; they seem to be non specific changes and not directly related to any apparent cardiac ischemia.
So, relax and don’t worry about that.
Coming to the end, I strongly advise you to follow those healthy lifestyle changes.
So, keep walking as much as you can, control your blood lipid profile, continue staying far from smoking and a healthy diet too.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
