After being recommended by the doctor, I have been measuring my ECG on the app “Kardiamobile” I know something isn’t right but I can’t grasp what isn’t. If you can help please do , thank you.

is it afib?

In addition to the fact that the vast majority of people on here are not medically qualified, they are discouraged from providing opinions or advice on medical issues and that includes ECG type traces, since it's in the community rules. However if you want a professional opinion you could run it past the BHF Heart Helpline nurse, contact details below including an email address.

some of these apps don’t work.

You can pay a small fee to get it assessed by a cardiac technician from Kardia.

What is the Kardia determination on the reading? The best thing to do is follow up with the doctor, they suggested using the Kardia surely they are expecting to see the results at some stage. Hope you get it sorted.

What does the app say on your phone?

It looks like a biphasic T wave. Could be due to Ischemia

You really need to get the trace to a cardiologist to determine the exact diagnosis.

Kardia technicians will do the analysis, although /they often just agree with the app determination.

There is a service called Qualy. They can do a more in depth analysis. I have found them useful, and faster/cheaper than Kardia.

Looks to me as though the Invert is On, and it is upside down. Find a trace on your phone, and invert on or off will be on the screen, top right hand corner, before you go to the view tracing link. If it is on just click on it and it will go off. Mine does tha and I have to change it every time.

I’ve had a fair share of ecg’s and shows various abnormalities with T waves etc and nothing found during a stress cardiac MRI.Not to see cardio people for another 6 months so my waves appear to be historic.

Whats the app saying in the first place? Is that not the point of having kardiamobile? It is ecg with analysis. 😉.

Does Kardia say "Normal"? If so then trust it, they are first class.

If you send it to the arrhythmia nurses at the hospital you are registered with they should be able to interpret it.

my husband has Atrial Fibrillation. Sometime ago, his cardiologist suggested he got this app which has proved invaluable. The main important thing , is that when you are using it, it shows if you are having an AF attack. You can save the result, and even email it to your consultant or GP, if you are worried about the result. Good luck with it !

Hello there, looking at that reading of yours I would suggest you ask you GP to book you in for a professional ECG. To me (and I am not a professional) your reading is not as it should be. If you look at an example which I have sent a link to you, you can see and compare some rather disconcerting changes. I had a reading similar to yours and was told at the time my P wave Q wave and my T wave where missing. It was not long after that I had a pacemaker.

I am not saying this to alarm you as to me these 'do it yourself gadgets' do tend to go wrong after some use and you have no way of telling. If you scroll down to the pink bit on the link you will see possible problems with a professional ECG. My honest answer to you is, it's not worth the worry and to get a professional ECG for peace of mind.

Link as follows.
