ecg what’s the result feeling worried

[Vic1977]

this may be the wrong place but does this look normal the lady who done it said the doctor will be in contract , now I’m worried ?

It says and looks like a normal EKG. At least in the US, nurses and technicians are not allowed to interpret ekg's for the patient, so I wouldn't read much more into it than that.

Ok prob worrying about nothing , thank you think it was more the notes on the side about the v2 and low qrs. ?

[FraserB in reply to Vic1977]

I'm not a doctor but it does look like a normal ecg. The woman, who you mentioned also saw the side notes (they are minor, if not normal and no cause for concern) is correct in having the doctor, not her, confirm that to you.

Perfect NSR for a female with a great P wave.

Caveat: I’m not a doctor nor am I trained in cardiac diagnostics. I’m just a regular person who is learning about the heart and takes an interest in how the heart works. Your doctor is the best person to speak to.

To my knowledge, low QRS is often lead placement but is also caused by obesity, hyperthyroidism and even fluid on the chest.

The RSR pattern can be a normal pattern for you. Many of us have some slight abnormality which is our norm. It might also indicate a right bundle branch block - fairly benign - or hypertrophy of the right ventricle. It could be a false positive too if your electrolytes are out of whack and it can also be affected by lead placement.

Either way, there is nothing major in your ecg for you to be concerned about. It will help your doctor put the picture of your heart together, adding in your symptoms if any, and other test results you’ve had. Rest easy and understand there is nothing life threatening there. You’ll be ok.

Oh had Covid a few weeks ago that turned into chest infection ? So makes sense than you

Hi Vic.

When an ECG is conducted, the person conducting it will never tell you. The same goes for an echocardiogram. I have pushed and pushed to find out about that one at the time without success! It's always the same—the doctor will tell you.

Please don't read anything into it as it's standard practice in the UK. Worry not 😉

It's normal, sinus Rhythm, complexes a little small but that can be dependant on Electrode placement.Personally I wouldn't worry about this, in fact if mine looked like this atm I would be over the moon!

I had the technician doing the ECG once tell me when I pressed her that I was in sinus only to walk into the cardiologist room and he glanced at it and said your in AF…just. Due to taking Flecainide when I went in AF it did such a good job that it only had some subtle differences. Are you on any drugs?

[Vic1977 in reply to OzJames]

No I was on sulfazaline for psoriatic arthritis, but a few weeks ago apart from that antibiotics?

[Singwell]

As others have said - from what I understand it looks normal. And note that it says on the far right 'normal variant of ECG'.

[Nursingirl]

it is normal sinus rhythm. I didn’t count the rate but not slow. Looks good!!

[Vic1977]

than you , me being paranoid , must be the age

Only the Doctor in Charge can give you the results that is why the nurse who did this told you that. There is no hidden meaning there.
