Good evening to all doctors here, please I will appreciate if anyone can interpret this result for me.

I have been having chest pain for like two weeks now..though it's not that serious but I do feel pain and pepperish sensation in my chest..so I decided to go to a lab to do this test.

I will appreciate if anyone can tell me what this is all about. Because I am a bit scared with the block I am seeing. I hope I am not having heart attack?

What is is the solution please?

You be adult for crying out Lourd. You collected this report from a medical doctor, why didn't you ask what the meaning of the result is? Or better still, why you no ask chatgpt?

This is more of brain attack rather than heart. Your paranoia alone go curse the real heart attack

Not from a doctor but a lab. I took myself to conduct the test. Read what I wrote please

Have not heard of brain attack. Should I do a ct scan?

I think you should visit a proper hospital first. Burning sensation in the chest could also Indicate stomach problems like ulcer.

First thing on Monday go to the hospital. Don't wait okay.

The burning/pepperish sensation is actually a classic symptom of acid reflux (GERD) and not automatically a heart issue. Many people confuse the two because the pain is in the same chest area.

That said - two weeks of symptoms plus an ECG result you don't fully understand is not something to leave to Nairaland. You need a proper cardiologist or internist to read that ECG in person. They will likely do a troponin blood test alongside to rule out cardiac involvement properly.

Please go to a hospital on Monday as others have said. Don't wait longer than that.

Hello .. Nigeria is a zoo. You may not get treated .

Umahi behaviour should shock you

You are NOT having heart attack. What you described are symptoms of ulcer/GERD.

Get a good treatment and you will be alright.

U still dey type now.......u never get heart attack...

Please stop posting these things to nairaland....

If you have any form of symptoms or health-related anxiety please just go the hospital.....

Spend so that you will not spend and be spent.

Anytime healing takes place, it's not only the one that is healed that benefits, even the whole family, because one surgery is enough to thrust the whole family into poverty and debt.

Every sickness is an oppression.


God anointed Jesus........... healing those oppressed by the devil...... Acts 10:8


May the healing power of God rest upon you in Jesus name.

Sorry and Nigeria does not have competent healthcare, and it cost a lot. So, pray and fast that u are sound else, Nigeria has happened to many. Just pray. Try and go to hospital shaa.

My mum experience this that anytime she walk long distances she feel pepperish on her chest. After teat and all that was told is ucler (Gerd)... Op, likely you have too much acid influx. It mostly hard to sleep at night.

See what Dr. ChatGPT says:

First, take a deep breath. Based on the ECG report you shared, there is no indication of a heart attack on this tracing.

Let me break this down clearly and practically.

1. Heart Rate – 57 bpm

This is called sinus bradycardia (slow heart rate).
Normal resting heart rate is 60–100 bpm.

57 bpm is only slightly below normal and can be completely normal in:

Physically fit individuals

People at rest or relaxed

During sleep

Some medication use


On its own, this is not dangerous if you are not fainting, dizzy, or extremely weak.


---

2. First Degree AV Block (PR interval 220 ms)

This is what is worrying you.

The PR interval represents how electrical signals move from the upper chambers (atria) to the lower chambers (ventricles).
Normal PR interval: 120–200 ms
Yours: 220 ms (slightly prolonged)

A first-degree AV block is actually the mildest form of conduction delay.

Important facts:

It is NOT a heart attack.

It is NOT the type of “block” that stops the heart.

It usually does not require treatment.

Many people live with it lifelong without problems.

It rarely progresses in healthy individuals.


It simply means the electrical signal is moving a little slower than average — but it is still moving.


---

3. Other ECG Findings (Very Important)

These are reassuring:

Sinus rhythm ✔

Normal axis ✔

Normal P waves ✔

QRS normal (80 ms) ✔

QTc normal (407 ms) ✔

ST segment isoelectric ✔ (This is critical — no heart attack pattern)

T waves normal ✔


If you were having a heart attack, we would expect:

ST elevation or depression

T wave inversion

Abnormal Q waves

Significant rhythm disturbance


None of those are present.

About Your Chest Pain

Your description:

“Pepperish sensation”

Mild

2 weeks duration

Not severe


Heart attack pain is usually:

Severe pressure or crushing pain

Spreads to left arm/jaw/back

Associated with sweating, nausea, shortness of breath

Sudden onset

Progressive


What you describe sounds more like:

Gastric reflux (very common)

Musculoskeletal chest wall pain

Anxiety-related chest discomfort

Inflammation of chest muscles


Acid reflux especially causes:

Burning / pepperish sensation

Worse after meals

Worse when lying down



---

What You Should Do Next (Practical Plan)

1. See a proper physician (not just a lab test).
Preferably a general physician or cardiologist for full evaluation.


2. Do basic blood tests:

Troponin (if acute pain)

Lipid profile

Blood sugar

Thyroid function



3. Consider:

Echocardiogram (to structurally assess heart)

If doctor feels necessary



4. Try anti-reflux measures:

Avoid spicy/oily foods

Avoid late-night meals

Elevate head while sleeping

Reduce caffeine

Consider trial of antacid (under doctor guidance)

When To Go To Emergency Immediately

If you experience:

Severe crushing chest pain

Pain radiating to arm/jaw

Sweating and nausea

Shortness of breath

Fainting


Then go to emergency immediately.

Big Picture

Based strictly on this ECG:

You are NOT having a heart attack.

The “block” is mild and usually benign.

The ECG is largely reassuring.


Your fear is understandable. Chest pain naturally triggers anxiety. But this ECG does not show a life-threatening pattern.

That said, persistent chest pain should still be evaluated properly — not because this ECG is alarming, but because symptoms deserve proper assessment.

Visit a teaching hospital and meet a specialist

Your numbers are fine

That description is actually more typical of:
Acid reflux (GERD)
Gastritis
Muscle pain (costochondritis)
Anxiety-related chest tightness

It could be peptic Ulcer. As I've had same in the past. 🤔

Take the result back to the hospital. That's the best place to take it to.

At 57BBM, your heart rate is slow for an average adult except you are an athlete or sleeping durig the checks. You need to find out why your heart rate is that slow, its the reason for the SYNUS BRADYCARDIA.

Consukt your cardiologist to get proper information and do not seek knowledge on social media or internet

Please go to an hospital. Multiple hospitals if necessary for various Doctor opinions.

This isn't an emergency based on the ECG alone, but discuss it with your doctor (cardiologist if possible). They may:
Ask about symptoms/history.
Repeat ECG or do a Holter monitor (24-hour recording).
Check blood tests (thyroid, electrolytes).
Possibly an echocardiogram if needed.
If you have no symptoms and are otherwise healthy, many people live normally with these findings without any intervention. Share more details if you have symptoms or questions!

Visit a standard hospital for a proper check up.

@Nlfpmod, see something : 🙂

You already done the ECG, did they not advice you on the next stage forward.....

This should give you a few
answers and food for thought.


Hope you are not into "bura tashi"
drugs??😉😉😉

It's not that serious a condition.

Just proceed to live a healthy life style and don't over work the heart by eating too much carbs, salt, alcohol or drugs.

Visit the cardiologist often for check up and monitor your blood pressure and pulse.

Many people have this condition without even knowing it and still live a normal life, you only got to know because of the recent pain you have been having which is an indication that you doing something too much or you not doing enough of.

HE HAS SINUS BRADYCARDIA
SLOW HEART BEAT ONLY 57
AVERAGE 76/MIN

IF YOU ARE SPORTY DON’T BOTHER
IF NOT
ARE YOU HAVING FAINTING SENSATION

THE FIRST DEGREE BLOCK IS NOT SERIOUS
BUT WITH YOUR STATE OF MIND TAKE THE RESULT TO A TEACHING HOSPITAL
OR A HEART HOSPITAL TO EASE YOUR FEAR
