Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern.
Do not worry so much. Let me solve your queries one by one.
1. Sinus rhythm is absolutely normal rhythm which we all have.
2. QTc is short - This can be due to increased Calcium in blood , exposure to excessive heat or if you are taking drugs like digoxin.
3. FLat T wave can be due to thick chest wall , low blood flow to heart(myocardial ischaemia) , thyroid dysfunction , low potassium in blood.
If you have chest pain , palpitations , skipped beat , breathlessness consult a cardiologist. He/she will be able to correlate the report clinically.
I always tell my patients that an abnormal EKG requires further evidence. It is tool for diagnosis with other tests, clinical evidence and symptoms .
Hope this helps . Post any other question.
