can you please upload the ekg

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.
I would ideally like to see the ekg.
as for the early repolarization changes, it means that your heart is relaxing a little quicker. It's possible in case of a tachycardia which often is a part of the 'getting the ekg done' anxiety.
if you have no symptoms, I don't think I would worry about it.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
