Brief Answer:
donot worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed your query and here is my answer .
Please note that ecg machine is computerised machine .
Some parameters are fed into its software and it interprets all ecg according to it .
But there are wide variations and sometimes ecg pick normal variants and give result of infarct .
But the diagnosis of infarct is made by treating doctor according to overall picture of patient .
Usually serial ecg or cardiac enzymes as cpk mb or troponins are checked to be doubly sure about infarct .
Now old infarcts are shown by pathological Q waves on ecg or demonstrated on echocardiography .
In morning , pulse rate of 50 is not a big issue .
If you have any doubt about missed beats in sleep or at day time , you may request your physician for holter monitoring for 24 hours .
Please take proper treatment for anxiety .
Avoid coffee , alcohal , herbal supplements .
Start relaxation techniques as deep breathing exercises , meditation and some social work .
I hope I have solved your query .
If you have any further query then you can come back to ' Ask a doctor ' i will definitely help you .
Thanks.
