How can u tell when u should seal medical advice when looking at an ECG reading.

Usually think the ones with a up peak / Tbar every second is ok. But I get negative T/bars every second and ones were there is + @ - peaks all different size peaks and multiple times per second. These r ones I wonder if they are the ones to worry about with numbness and shortness of breath and chest pain.

Many thanks

Jeff

It is probably better to go by your symptoms than by readings, especially if unsure how to interpret them.

I agree as an ECG reading is quite difficult to decipher and not for a quick lesson on you tube. You can get a Kardia mobile and send your readings by email to your cardiologist which I was advised to do.

NO one on here is qualified to read an ECG; even many GPs can't do it properly. Ifyoru s ymptoms say contact a doctor, that's what you should go by.
