I took my ECG and it turned out abnormal with a qtc of 485 , pulse was 95 .

However , the cardiologist order a echo and Stress Test and everything canoe out normal .

She said not to worry and I’ll be fine .

Should I be concerned , I’m only 20 and do not want to die from cardiac arrest .

    Wikipedia says a lot potassium level can cause this, though do be careful not to have to much potassium either as that can be dangerous.

    Hello Eduardo,

    You wanted the advice of the cardiologist and now you have it.   Try to relax and enjoy each day.

    Don't waste your life in pointless worry.

    Kind regards 

    Kathleen
