Should A ECG Showing Moderately Abnormal For A Person With History Of Colon Cancer Raise A Cause Of Concern?

I had an ecg done that came out moderately abnormal, I had a resting heart rate of 46, My blood pressure was 190/110. I am 53y/o male 168lbs, do not smoke, drink, or do drugs. I have a history of stage 2b colon cancer. Should I be worried about my ecg?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely worry about your abnormal ecg.
You are having low pulse rate and high blood pressure. So possibility of heart block is more.
Colon cancer can spread to heart.
And this can cause rhythm disturbances like heart blocks.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. 2 d echo.
2. Holter monitoring (24 hour continuous monitoring of ecg)
3. Stress test.
4. Coronary angiography if required.
So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
