I had a panic attack like feeling which i thought to be heart attack. I went to the doctor and he told me to do an ECG. The report came abnormal. It read "possible preexcitation syndrome". But the doctor didn't even take this into consideration. He even heard my heart and concluded that its fine. But im not convinced as I'm getting very scary symptoms like chest pain, a discomfort around the left part of my chest and I'm very very lightheaded. I even had a fast heart rate when I was walking. But my rate is under control now as the doctor prescribed me beta blocker. So my question is that can an abnormal ECG report be harmless?

    I guess so, or your doctor would have told you otherwise if it were something serious.  If he'd seen evidence (ekg) like an ST segment elevation or ST depression then it wouldn't be considered harmless.
