What Does This ECG Test Report Indicate?

Hello Doctor .I m a male, 36 years old. My first ECG in July showed slight ST Depression. I ve been always anxious about work and had a very stressful time with about 5-6 hours of sleep, working even during my vacation and constantly worried about work, personal issues. I had no chest pain, weakness etc - on the contrary, always full of energy. I eat less oily food, low on salt and lots of fruits, nuts. However, I m very fit. I spend at least 1 hour a day in the gym on elliptical, treadmill, jogging. My Doc mentioned that I should reduce my cardio to only 3-4 hours of week as my BMI is perfect. My Cardio advised my complete bed rest for a week, completely stayed away from my mobile, email etc. No medication as well. After a week, the ECG was perfectly normal. Lipid Profile: LDL (181), HDL (57), Triglycerides (138) Glucose (fasting): 99 My ECG from last year was also normal. I took a follow up ECG yesterday and the report mentions ST Depression again. Is there a concern?

Hello,

I have gone through the reports you have mentioned. Your ECG is normal. But normal ECG cannot rule out heart diseases. So better to get done 2d echo and stress test.

If needed also get done angiography.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
