right ventricular conduction delay on ekg

i got some ekgs in the er and this showed up in both. i had one a week before at urgent care and it didn't say it on it, which is why its worrying me because of the sudden change. also because i've had shortness of breath, lightheadedness, etc. for like 3 weeks now and feel awful every day and no one wants to run any tests outside of the er or seem concerned at all. they didn't mention it to me there and i've just seen it now in my chart. my doctor doesn't seem to want to do a echo (she saw it before i did, i never got the chance to discuss it with her) and my parents are fed up with heart tests so now i'm too scared to work out or do anything athletic. should i ask to redo the ekg to see if its a fluke? i'd feel better with an echo but i don't know where to go from here

right ventricular conduction delay

i got some ekgs in the er and this showed up. i had one a week before at urgent caren and it didn't say it on it, which is why its worrying me because of the sudden change. they didn't mention it to me there and i've just seen it now. apparently its often times harmless but it can also be a sign of a heart condition that can cause cardiac arrest with activity. i was already having either heart or panic symptoms so i'm scared :( i don't want to have to give up playing a contact sport or anything. my doctor doesn't seem to want to do a echo (she saw it before i did i guess) and my parents are fed up with heart tests so now i'm too scared to work out or do anything athletic.

how much does eating potassium before affect your blood work?

i got a stat blood test today because i felt awful but i'd already eaten a banana and had a gatorade, and had a banana the night before as well. i'm worried these spiked it into the normal range from a dangerously low level again (i was at 3.4 last test 2 weeks ago which i was fine with and i'm at 4.1 today after eating those.) :( and once it runs out i'll be in danger of heart problems or something

fear upgraded from heart attack to sudden cardiac arrest 😰

its 4:05 am and i'm convincing myself that since i had a 2 week long panic attack and barely ate my low potassium has dropped low enough i'm going to have cardiac arrest at any second because i have muscle spasms in my leg. why did i learn what cardiac arrest is heart attack is much less scary in comparison

i convince myself every arm pain is a heart attack

i'm 18 and don't smoke or even drink caffeine more than like... 3 times a year. i'm constantly paranoid i'm having a heart attack and it's not helping that i have bronchitis right now so my ribs are sore and i'm a bit short of breath lol. i feel crazy sometimes, i've had my dad take me to the er and also woken my parents up in the middle of the night because i'm scared.

no teacher rec letters

i need teacher rec letters for the colleges i want to apply to and i don't have any teachers in "core subjects" or way of getting them. i can't take a cc class because of transfer credit requirements since i had to take a gap year for medical and mental reasons. i don't want to go to community college because i need to get out of this house. they fucked up my chance at my dream school or any school i wanted to go to by homeschooling me and i was never even given a choice. i'm so frustrated and i'm tired of being let down by the fact that they homeschooled me i have zero hope for my future anymore. i'd rather just give up entirely than have to live through another thing be taken away from me because of them
