ECG results

Hello, I have a query regarding 2 ECG’s I got on the same day at two different hospitals

  1. It shows its an abnormal one with the machine saying non-specific intraventricular block

Which scared me alot obviously since i take nerve meds like Tegritol, which is a sodium channel blocker
My age is 25.

The second ECG is the one which says its normal ECG which mentions my BP in handwriting

Now the curious and scared person in me obviously googled all the values in both the ECG’s and it does seem the PR is short, QRS and PR interval are also off the range bur weirdly after going through the chart, both doctors said it was completely fine and said not to go through what the machine immediately says ever. Idk why they said that.

Please help me in understanding both the ECG’s whether they are fine or not.

Disabled and thinking of becoming an EKG Technician

Hello! I have been chronically ill for the past 11+ years, recently it has progressed and I’m more disabled than before. I use a walker and a cane (Doing everything I can with PT to avoid a wheelchair). I also have lifting restrictions from my doctors of 10-15 lbs.

My previous job has offered to give me some re-education credits to go back to school. So, I was looking into the EKG Technician field.

So, I just want to know the reality of how it’s like working as an EKG Technician. Is it a physically demanding job? Is it a lot of standing? Is there a lot of lifting and pushing? Is there mandatory overtime? Are employers okay with hiring disabled individuals willing to work? Etc.

Just looking for advice and honesty.

Thank you so much for your help!

PACs?

It’s weird, almost looks like they happened at either end of a deep breath (you can see wave heights increasing and decreasing between).

Do you need to attend a specific EKG program/course to take the NHA exam?

Hi everyone, I currently work in a hospital as a transporter and I'm wanting to move into working as a monitor tech while I'm in school for Nuclear Medicine. (Lots of neat cardiology stuff!)

My hospital's Education department has online EKG classes through the Healthstream portal but I'm not sure if that makes me eligible for the NHA EKG exam. Did anyone else train on the job to become an EKG/monitor tech without taking the exam? Or did you have to take an accredited course and take the exam?

8 year old child - ECG on Garmin

My child has always had an irregular feeling pulse to the touch. I’ve always assumed it was sinus arrhythmia however there have been 3 instances in which my Garmin (aware not intended for kids) has displayed AF. I think P waves are visible, albeit small. What do you guys think?
