My ECG results reads: left ventricular hypertrophy - What can i do

Posted by diegopaule @diegopaule, 3 days ago

I am really confused right now even though I experience sever chest pain sometimes, but i felt that could be angina, because when i take painkillers, they subside.
I am 39yrs and I do not have high blood pressure- What can be done?

Please check with your medical providers for medical guidance.

ECG is only a electrical tests. Discuss with your doctors about echocardiogram and other test to more accurately diagnose your condition.

Only a highly specialized Cardiologist with plenty of experience can help you get the right answers. Like you, I was 39 when I had my heart problems more serious than you for I had 2 heart attacks and I thought it was just pain in my back. A great Cardiologist has been treating me and no more heart attacks for the last 25 years now and I still take my heart medicines that includes high blood pressure ones.

A bit more pithy, if this is your style:

What to do? As the other replies suggest, find a good, ideally local, cardiologist and follow that person's advice closely.

@diegopaule I agree with previous responses. It seems to early to tell what is going on without more testing. Stay diligent on this and make sure you get to your appointments and any tests they order.
