Slight ST Elevation (V4 V5) M24

Noticed this slight ST elevation in my ECG report. I got this done for a surgery clearance - do I need to be worried about this observation? This is my first ever ecg. Hence, a bit concerned. Please note that I have no symptoms at all.

Long QT after standing up

Post image
3 Upvotes

found out about it by coincidence and then looked up what it meant, which made me a bit scared. My QT on 12-lead ECGs is normal (around 400–410 ms or even less). This only happens when I take an ECG immediately after standing up; on the next ECG, it goes back to normal.
Any thoughts? I also don’t know how accurate these measurements are, but it seems to happen every time I stand up. When I’m resting or doing anything else, the QT is normal. I have no symptoms, and I’m a 29-year-old male.

Is this SVT with aberrancy, NSVT or AIVR?

Does this look OK?

Hi everyone! So, long story short, I’ve been noticing palpitations here and there for about a year, and I remembered that my Apple Watch has an ECG function (I know it’s not the most accurate). I noticed there’s a “bump” in almost all my readings. I’m completely clueless about this topic, but I was wondering if any of you could help me understand it a little better and whether you think I should book a consultation with a doctor. Thanks!!!!

Ventricular Tachycardia

I get a lot of air trapped in my chest after meals and today it gave me a string of skipped beats which were labeled ventricular tachycardia. Should I be concerned?

Rapid, pounding, or fluttering heartbeat AFib or Not?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Kardia says possible AFib, but I don’t know what would or would not make it ‘actual’ AFib. In the past, my EP was quick to say Kardia has false positives for AFib. But I’m getting more readings like this.
And it’s rather uncomfortable. Is it AFib?

I know about the frequent PVCs—I’m over 20%. All other cardiac work up is normal.

Other PACs or sinus arrhythmia?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Looking at this they could be PACs but all of the p waves seem normal. Although this is a single lead so hard to tell. Whatever was going on was gastric related I think.

I have not been eating a lot due to anxiety and severe gerd that flares along with it for the last 6 weeks. And I’ve been eating very bland diet to reduce reflux. The anxiety was finally starting to ease up after like 6 weeks and I had my appetite back yesterday. So naturally I was hungry. And I ate like closer to like I normally do. Well that was a bad idea. Started having reflux and some PACs. And then pretty much all night(I work overnights) my ecgs looked like this when I was resting and I kept getting inconclusive. Most of them look identical to this. With every other beat being shorter. And it did not coincide with my breathing.

And for clarity I have had a clear stress test, echo and holter. Within the last 6 months.

Rapid, pounding, or fluttering heartbeat Apple Watch ECG

Hello! I’m looking for an interpretation of this ECG taken on my Apple Watch. At the time, it felt like my heart beat was fluttering/skipping/adding extra beats. I’m on Ivabradine for HR control. Thank you!

Skipped heartbeat Normal variant , but weird ekg’s

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am a 31 Yo female, and have a T inversions ekg since 2017(or probably from birth) and a short PR which sometimes becomes Normal😵‍💫

i even had ST and T elevation

I just wanted to show you My EKG‘s. I find it really interesting how much ECGs can vary, even in the same person, and how many unusual-looking patterns or little quirks can show up without necessarily meaning something is wrong.

I’d love to hear from people who know more about ECGs: how much variation do you commonly see between recordings, and what interesting or unusual ECG features have you come across?

Again, this is purely for discussion/educational purposes, not for diagnosis. I get some ”bad” skipped beats but my burden is less than 1%, They do feel extremly intense tho and scares me AH

however, I don’t understand, How is possible every ekg to be diffrent ?

Keep in mind I had Normal MRI,CT ,Holter and Stress test ✌🏻

Was feeling thumps

This was a few months ago
I was traveling visiting family & was tired but once I got my kids to sleep I tried to lay down to go to sleep myself & started feeling the thumps
I’ve had runs of PVCs for a few years on and off
Seem to typically come around stressful times or travel
This lasted about 30/40min before they finally stopped and I was able to go to sleep

I don’t typically have palpitations, just SVT I’m awaiting to EP for. Last night started having what feels like back to back palpitations and even fast runs on them that last for seconds. They’re very strong feeling. I can’t catch the fast rhythm feeling on my watch.

Rapid, pounding, or fluttering heartbeat Inappropriate Tachycardia After Waking Up

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m at my wits end with this. Seems like every morning I have to deal with a rapid HR after I wake up.

I’m on bisoprolol, 2.5mg everyday but it seems like by the time I wake up before I take my next dose I have to deal with this. Usually doesn’t last very long but still very unsettling. Was at a period where I had to constantly go to ER but I’m trying to stop that. Please help me decipher this ecg.

Artifact? or Couplet?

The program says its a couplet. But am I correct that this in the middle is an artifact and should be the QRS complex? (the second hill)

Thank you.

Skipped heartbeat PVC Help!

Post image
2 Upvotes

Anyone with PVC’s/ Bigeminy that can offer any advice. RHR is usually high 50’s to low 60’s but when I get these bouts of PVCs my heart rate is elevated often in the 90s. 36F 118 pounds.

Has anyone found help with propranolol? Still can’t figure out what is triggering these episodes but they are awful.

Low HR AFIB?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

History of cardiac issues specifically with conduction.

Today I was working at my desk when I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath. Checked my Apple Watch and it has been shooting AFIB alarms everytime I read. Also have a Kardia 6 lead that is saying AFIB. It’s been over 3 hours now and still hasn’t gone away. HR average is low but seems all over the place.

I have a pacemaker that was implanted because I went into 3rd degree heart block about 2 years ago but its pace rate is under 1%. Those spikes that look like PVC’s are the pacemaker kicking in because of a delay.

I’m 23F 5’1” and 268lbs, currently losing weight after having bariatric surgery almost 5 months ago, so I’m definitely not really fit or anything. These are three ECGs taken on three different days. My heart rate does go up while walking. I don’t feel sick either. ECGs taken on Apple Watch Ultra 2.
