Can The Chest Congestion Cause Abnormality In EKG?
i have a sinus infection/cold, and nasal drip. I went for my physical today. the dr listen to my heart, took vitals etc.. everything sounded fine and all and then she did an ekg as part of the physical, and it looked okay but she said there was a slight abnormality. can the chest congetstion from the cold interfere ? she said she thought maybe it was because of breast tissue also

Hello
Thank you for asking in HCM.
No i do no think that the situation of sinus infection could do abnormality in EKG.To be sure you may consult a cardiologist for further heart examinations or to wait this situation to go and to repeat the EKG.If the changes in EKG persists than go to the cardiologist.
Thank you
