A friend sent this to me and I don’t even know what it is

It was taken by an Apple Watch but it still looks concerning.

Urgent Care Anger

Hi! My husband went to an urgent care today for a physical with EKG. This is a requirement for his electrician alliance program.

A nurse practitioner saw him at our local urgent care. Their EKG machine was having issues, they almost sent him away but got it working. These are the results.
She signed “no” on his clearance form and told him he needs to see a cardiologist before she will sign it. Because of “ventricular delay”.

I was taught to never blindly follow the EKG machine’s dictation and view it yourself. I’m not so sure she viewed it herself in the 1 second she spent only looking at the top right hand side.

Please tell me if you agree with this interpretation? We are getting a second opinion tomorrow for another doctor.

For reference, my husband is 27, works a physical labor job out in the sun, and does semi intense cardio 3 days a week. He is working on weight loss. BMI 39

Propranolol 40mg

Título: Mi médico me recetó Propranolol 40mg/día por ritmo cardíaco de 95 y分 insomnio, pero mi corazón está sano. ¿Es una dosis muy alta? Tengo miedo.
Cuerpo de la publicación:
Hola a todos. Quería consultarles sobre una duda que me tiene un poco ansioso/a.
Hace poco fui al médico y me hicieron revisiones. Mi doctor me informó que mi corazón estructuralmente está súper bien (no hay soplos, ni fallas, todo sano). Sin embargo, noto dos cosas:
Mi frecuencia cardíaca en reposo está un poquito elevada (normalmente en 95 lpm).
A veces por las noches me cuesta mucho conciliar el sueño.
El médico decidió recetarme Propranolol de 40 mg, una pastilla todos los días.
Mi duda y gran temor es: si mi corazón está estructuralmente sano y solo está un "pelín" rápido, ¿por qué me recetan esto? Me da bastante miedo empezar a tomarlo porque siento que 40 mg es una dosis muy alta para mi situación.
¿Alguien que haya pasado por algo similar?
¿Es normal esta dosis para regular pulsaciones leves o temas de ansiedad/insomnio?
Agradezco mucho sus comentarios y experiencias. (Obviamente sé que no es consejo médico oficial, pero me gustaría leer sus opiniones para calmar un poco el miedo).

Are these heart rate zones normal for a moderately active 24 year old 5*6ft 125 pound woman? Tracked with Fitbit versa.

Ekg no results yet

Is this normal? When they first put them on the guy said he needed help and went away for 5 seconds. After that he came back in and said it was back to normal and the lady asked if I had been moving which I hadnt. This is the numbers. They have not been interpreted yet but does this look normal? Symptoms include syncope.
