Well the doctor gave me my holter report and a ECG while i was having a panic attack and heres the interpretaation of the holter


The patient was monitored for 4:43 (hrs : mins) .
The quality of the recording was good.
Rhythm and Rate:
The underlying rhythm was sinus.
The rate varied from 41-118 beats per minute. The average beats per minute is 66.
Ectopy:
There were rare PAC's.
There was <0.1% supraventricular ectopy per 24 hour record period.
There were rare PVC's.
There was <0.1% ventricular ectopy per 24 hour recording
Symptoms:
The patient reported symptoms of palpitations and chest pi during which time the rhythm was sinus at a rate in the 6 There was no correlation with patient's symptoms.

and the ECG kinda freaked me out being ive only had either normal or borderline t wave abnormality.



ECG Adult
Heart Rate 102
P-R Interval 148
QRSD Interval 94
QT Interval 364
QTC Interval 475
P Axis 37
QRS Axis 36
T Wave Axis -83

Report
Sinus Tachycardia [Now Present]
Left Atrial Abnormality [Now Present]
Non-Specific T Wave Abnormality, Diffuse Leads [Remains]
Borderline Prolonged QT Interval [Now Present]
Significant rrhythm and ECG contour changes [Now Absent]
Sinus Rhythm


hopefully jeff will interpret this for me being my doctor was busy and didnt feel like telling me anything.

Well I have no idea what any of that means so sorry I can't help. Were the items in red already in red or did you do that and do they say "now present" on the results?

Totally normal holter, with NO correlation to your symptoms--rare PVSs, and no heart disease observed..

EKG IS NORMAL. Remember what I said about ignoring the computer diagnosis, and having a doctor's read of a cardiogram. YOUR QRS interval and QT intervals are NORMAL, NORMAL, NORMAL. People with long qt intervals have readings of 500 or more. Yours is below 400. "NON specific T wave abnormality" is normal.Negative axis of -83 is slightly off of normal but well within the margin of error for a cardiogram. IGNORE THE COMPUTER CONCLUSION, AS IT IS NOT EQUIPPED TO BE A CARDIOLOGIST. It means that the computer can't find a diagnosis in its inaccurate data base. You are fine, and just stop the BS, and live your life.

AS expected, both rests were unremarkable. You stated your real problem, and that was that you were having a panic attack. THIS is what you need to be treated for, and not heart disease, as you don't have any, according to the tests. Those are essentially normal holter and EKG results.

This part of the cardiogram can be ignored completely:

Report
Sinus Tachycardia [Now Present]
Left Atrial Abnormality [Now Present]
Non-Specific T Wave Abnormality, Diffuse Leads [Remains]
Borderline Prolonged QT Interval [Now Present]
Significant rrhythm and ECG contour changes [Now Absent]
Sinus Rhythm

This is the "fast and dirty" reading of the computer, not a cardiologist's findings. If you want to freak out over the fact that digital cardiograms are not accurate in their findings, go for it, but those conclusions are actually contradictory. The QT interval is normal, as it is under 400, so how can it be borderline? So, give it up, and acknowledge that your real problem is emotional. Every day, you have a new illness.

im not stressing over it but as ive found out the QTc is whaat determins the QT Interval its Corrected QT Interval (QTc) | MDCalc
QTC = QT Corrected but then out of all of my eks the highest was 430 and lowest was 397 so im not freaking out, just alittle concerned but then again it was probably high due to the anxiet, now im just patiently waiting for my dam pysch appt

IGNORE IT ALTOGETHER. It was a computer read. To quote my cardiologist verbatim: "Computer reads of a cardiogram are for amusement purposes only. In this office, the staff doesn't even read them, as they are inaccurate. We all know how to interpret cardiograms" These were the words of a top cardiologist in my area, who has practiced for 31 years.

I shall ignore it then. and today have been PVC free but i have never had a panic attack last more than 1 hours and its been about 5 hours now, im starting to get mad and sad at the same time, ativan is taking its sweat time to help.

tried the walk and that didnt help. i actually ended up having to take 2mg of ativan, the most ive ever taken at once, usually only take 0.5mg or 1mg and thats for the whole day.
