How to manage shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing?

Question

Hello doctor,

I want to discuss my father's ECG report. He has shortness of breath and has difficulty swallowing food. His CT scan and Endoscopy were done today, but we are still waiting for his reports. Could you please help us to understand his ECG report?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is normal, but the diagnosis depends upon symptoms, signs, and other known diseases. An electrocardiogram is always interpreted in the context of clinical history. Does your father have any known cardiac issues? Is he diabetic, hypertensive, or a smoker? Why is his weight so low?

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The electrocardiogram is normal. There is no evidence of previous heart attack, heart chamber enlargement, conduction problem, or rhythm problem.

I meant to ask whether he has any previous known cardiac issues such as valve issues, any symptoms of palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, or syncope.
