Can You Explain These Test Results For Me And Why
Question: Can you explain these test results for me and why the ER discharged me saying "everything is normal, but you might want to see your primary care physician to get a holter monitor" How concerned should I be and how quickly should I be trying to get a holter monitor?
My doctor is closed until the fall due to COVID and the only reason I am this concerned is because the symptoms are persisting.
Also I take Potassium Citrate, could this be the cause and NOT an actual heart problem?
Thank you--Test results are below
==================================================
Vent. Rate : 099 BPM Atrial Rate : 099 BPM
P-R Int : 112 ms QRS Dur : 088 ms
QT Int : 326 ms P-R-T Axes : 066 -46 005 degrees
QTc Int : 418 ms
Normal sinus rhythm
Left axis deviation
voltage criteria for bilateral hypertrophy
ST-T wave changes in IIi and aVF - cannot rule out inferior ischemia
Abnormal ECG
No previous ECGs available
